He finally got out??

Damn...the Texans may end up being our biggest competition next year.

Off to TBD to enjoy their pain and misery

Who saw that coming?

Diggs yelling at Stroud will be fun

Man, Diggs must be an even bigger pain in the ass than we all thought for Buffalo to deal him to another potential playoff opponent.

Thursday opener again them is gonna be intense.

Haven't seen compensation yet, but maybe like a 4? Can't believe they get too much given how much Diggs fell off last season.

Houston is gonna be interesting. We've reached a point where most top qbs are no longer playing for rookie contracts. So Houston could be arrow up while teams like the chargers and bills are arrow down.

I do wonder if stroud can continue that success. A lot of his game is built around just chucking the ball which worked well last year. I suspect defenses are going to be more dialed into that this year.

Buffalo just ****ed themselves. Take a lower pick to send him to the NFC you dumb mother ****ers.

2025 2nd.

Buffalo is in trouble.

Why would they trade him to Houston ROFL ****ing idiots

He’s washed. But this still hurts the Bills a lot due to I assume a big dead cap hit. For the Texans I think this is a big mistake. They had pretty dang good receiver play last season and seem to be building a culture and Diggs isn’t a culture guy.

Also Diggs is cooked

I saw the Texans were in on Keenan Allen as well. I would've much rather had him for a 2024 4.

Shitkur is their number 1 WR ROFL

ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

Bills will be trading up for a WR in rd 1

Yea, that's a little much for a guy that looked like he was on the decline last year.

Allen's game will age much better.

They'll 100% be drafting a WR in the first round.

It's the right move for Fluffalo.

Curtis Samuel and Shitkur their top 2 targets....good lord that team is falling apart

Said this a few times. The Bills looked at WR more than any position at the combine.

They are going to draft Bryan Thomas Jr or Adonai Mitchell

Kincaid is basically their #1 today.

I will be drafting him early and often in FF.

The Bills aren’t even getting anything in return for this year. That tells you how bad they wanted him out.

Also, in before Bills fan rationalization that all along it was Diggs being the problem in the locker preventing the team from winning.

They are having quite the offseasom.

If I had to guess....they want Thomas. He'd be a great deep threat with Allen's arm.

They should, but they're a pretty dumb organization lately

Where is Mr. "The Bills take the AFC this seasom"? :hmmm:

They need Skyy Moore now more than ever.

I just don't think we have any clue what happened to Diggs last year. Obviously there was the constant drama. But was that responsible for his falling off a cliff? Did he just get old really fast?

If it's 2022 Diggs, it's a real get. But I don't know what to expect from the guy at all. He didn't break 90yds in a game after week 6 after having 100+ in 5 of his first 6. Weird.

The opener against the Texans is gonna be fun.

I wouldn't be SO sure that the Bills go WR in the 1st.

Their defensive roster is absolutely terrible.

It's most likely, but not 100%.

Haha they lose Diggs and a day 3 pick and get nothing in return for this draft. How shitty is that for a team that's supposedly in rebuild mode.

It remains doubtful that the Bills take the AFC this seasom.

Bills current WR group:

Curtis Samuel
Khalil Shakir
Mack Hollins
KJ Hamler
Justin Shorter
Tyrell Shavers
Andy Isabella
Bryan Thompson

This will be the year for Allen to prove if he's even in the same stratosphere as Mahomes. Patrick has won superbowls with poor WR play. I'd be shocked if Josh even makes the post season.

I don’t understand what Houston is doing. Don’t get the trade back with the Vikings. Don’t get this either.

They had the 23rd pick. They could have traded up for Bryan Thomas Jr. Don’t understand trading back only to use that pick to get a Wr who turns 31 instead of taking advantage of an amazing WR draft

Maybe Von Miller can play on offense

Bills fan on Reddit:

"Chiefs traded Tyreek Hill and won the SB so :shrug:"

LMAO

Most delusional fanbase in sports.

Seems like overkill for the Texans WR corp, but leaves a really weak WR group for the Bills. This is win-win for us.

JFC no wonder they got a 2nd for all that dead cap.

it'd be hilarious if we still trade up over them for our target WR

That's my biggest takeaway from the Texans side.

Sure they're loaded on paper, but Diggs is long to take a ton of targets from Collins and Dell who are better younger players.

Oh there's at least a 50% chance that happens LMAO

Not gonna happen but I'd love to pry Collins out of there. Better still, Collins was a 3rd rounder - sure wouldn't mind getting one of those of our own in the 2nd/3rd round.

(Or another one of those. Ideally one that doesn't wreck his rented supercars just to avoid the CP stupidity)

Depends on how they view Diggs and whether he'll be fine not being the true #1 there. I think he just wanted out of Buffalo because of how their offense evolved last year.

Texans have had a great offseason.

Your boy Walker is very similar to Collins IMO.

ROFL

Certainly possible he'll be on his best behavior for a year after getting out of there.

Then the question is how good is he today? Because he looked like dogshit down the stretch.

Man - that's a beating.

It's essentially the WR version of our Sneed deal. Except we actually freed up cap space in '24 while they've freed theirs up for '25 (by accelerating the dead cap).

On the Texans side - I think we get them at Arrowhead next year, right? Should be a fun game. They've turned things around quick as a hiccup. Scared money don't make money - those trades they made in the '23 draft were incredibly aggressive but appear to have paid off in a big way.

Texans going all in while Stroud is cheap. Following the Chiefs model..

So..... why are Beane and McDermott still there?

Texans going all in. Loading up big time.

They'll be gone after this season when they inevitably have their worst year.

Another leg of the table kicked out in Buffalo.

I predict a picture of Diggs in Arrowhead watching the Chiefs celebrate the AFC championship while he's wearing a Texans uniform.

Stroud, Mixon, Diggs, Collins, Dell, Schultz...

they are going to score a lot of points this year.

I called the Diggs trade a while ago.

It was obvious that Buffalo was looking way too much into WRs considering how many defensive starters they released.

More importantly is how much firepower Houston has now.

KC needs to move up and grab one of the top 5 WRs, especially because our 1 in Kelce is aging out.

I really wish JustLiqDix was here to celebrate! ROFL

Diggs watching the confetti at Arrowhead in a Texans uni is going to be new!

Horrible compensation lol and a cap hit and shitty WR room love it

BOOM! Drop the mic and lock the thread!

Collins is bigger than people realize. More like Mitchell, really.

And if I'm trying to find a middle round guy with similar traits who people say "Man, how did we miss that" about someday, it might be Brendan Rice or maybe my guy Luke McCaffrey.

Holy shit. 30+ million in dead cap?!?

I’m not understanding. How much are the Bills still going to be paying Diggs in 2024? Anything beyond that?

Imitating the Chiefs by trading their "best" WR for a bevy of picksss...oh.

The move that people aren’t talking about is when Buffalo fired Dorsey and promoted Joe Brady.

Once Buffalo offense became a run and protect the defense offense Diggs was as good as gone.

I can't believe Buffalo traded him to a direct competitor in the AFC...hilarious lol.

BTW great offseason in Buffalo...gut your team, make some moves in FA, and then trade your best weapon. WTF. Can't even rebuild right.

The Texans overhype will be in the stratosphere now...let's see how they do with a 1st place schedule and a year of film on Stroud.

Except that it's basically for only one pick and its for next year. Nothing this season. And they have a huge cap hit. LMAO

Diggs traded to Texans
 

They know he’s washed and will do more harm than good. They needed to get rid of him. The Texans are the ones making a mistake here. They should of just kept their first round pick and gotten a WR there.

Except that it's basically only one pick and its for next year. Nothing this season. And they have a huge cap hit. LMAO

We’re all celebrating buffalos fall but now we likely have to get ahead of Buffalo for a WR in the draft.

Nothing.

But they take the cap hit of his pre-rated bonus off that god-awful extension they gave him a couple years back.

And they won't pay him anything beyond that.

All this does for them is move the dead cap they would've taken in 2025 when they cut him into 2024. Over a 2 year window it saves them about $19 million (hurts them a bit this year, helps them next year; sum total savings on the cap is $19 million over those two years).

It's the football equivalent of holding your L. They realized that the extension was pretty much a disaster and have decided to eat their shit now vs. later (presumably with the idea that taking that hit now will help them next season when Allen's deal gets even bigger).

Buffalo's in a little trouble here, fellas.
