Brandon Beane justifies taking all of Stefon Diggs' cap hit now | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
/ nflonnbc - Спорт
I support B. Beane . He did the right thing for the sake of the team.
Not only that, but his swath of moves saved our WR room. I'd say we're in good hands...
Everybody forgets about our tight ends too. They think the only ppl who catch balls are the WRs lol. Dalton Kincaid will have the most catches this year on bills .
Kincaid looks like a good player. Knox is a middling TE. Overpaid and average.
@@HatrickEwing last year was definitely a down year for Knox but he also had a broken wrist that needed surgery during the season and bc of his lack of performance he took a pay cut this year. But I agree Knox is average but I think Kincaid can be something special
Cook will be huge as a receiving target out of the backfield, too.
No one forgets about the tight ends. You are just a whiny bills fan
@@HatrickEwing I'd argue Knox to be a potential top 10 TE. He really has been unlucky with injury, and people forget how good he is because of a few dropped passes, honestly. He ran a 4.51 Pro Day and we all know he is excellent with RAC and blocking. Hands aren't amazing, but the dude can still catch very well, watch his highlights.
I'm telling you, as far as TE's go, dude is pretty close to a freak athlete. As close as a 6'4 250 pound guy can be, really. Now he's buried under Kincaid, lol, but he'll still find a chance to shine, mark me. Between Knox and Kincaid (and Morris) I'd argue we may have the best TE group in the league. Slightly better than Kelce/Gray, and there are quite a few good groups out there too. Even if you consider Knox a TE15 and Kincaid a TE8 we'd still have two top 15 TE's.. Just sayin... 🤷♂
Bradys offense showed that we dont need Diggs. Last offseason, we were rolling with a Dorsey offense which was Diggs dependent. Florio is just being dumb saying they should have traded him last off-season. That is such a hindsight talking point
You're trying to use the GOAT to justify you're offense still being a threat after losing your top offensive threat? Well Allen is going to have to QB like Brady because we don't know that yet. Allen before Diggs looked a lot different than allen with Diggs. Bills are guaranteed to be a threat now that Diggs is gone. And which offense are you talking about?
Pats offense with Moss and Welker OR with Gronk, Hernandez, and Eldeman?
One of the greatest coaches that ever lived Bill Belichick always said it’s better to get rid of them a year early than a year late
Exactly why Bill is not with New England because he did it with Tom and they won a Super Bowl in Tampa because of it.
Read between the lines: They sent a message the day after Diggs disrespected Allen AGAIN that Josh is the man and anyone who can't handle that can get lost. That message was worth a lot to the team.
So what was Beane supposed to do throw Diggs under the bus? That would be something maybe you would do but Beane has more class.
Did Bean sign Diggs? Shows he is a little slow...classy but slow.
@@uup116it wasn't really slow. Diggs may not have gotten you a championship, but he is a reason for the growth and development of Josh Allen.
Florio doesn’t understand that Diggs isn’t a top receiver anymore. Not close to being worth his $$.
It's because Florio only looks at raw stats and doesn't actually watch the games
Which is exactly what Beane said in not so many words
Mike, the "albatross" wasn't the dead-cap hit. The albatross was the locker room toxicity.
What Beane was saying was, whether they took care of the albatross now or next year, it costs them 30M either way, so he'd rather deal with the Albatross now, so that next season is a clean slate.
"Why didn't they do it last year?" That's a poor take. They were a field goal away from playing for the AFC Championship. Diggs was had a great year and was a huge piece in getting that far, that's why you try and make it work another year.
lol,, maybe you should look at Diggs stats for the second half of the season before spouting off.
Absolutely brainless take. Asking why a team didn’t do this or didn’t do that is so immature and illogical. Why stop there, might as well ask why the Bills didn’t keep their 1st round pick in 2020 and take Justin Jefferson.
Good decision by Beane. Now he just needs to move on from Von Miller contract.
yeah hopefully he has a decent year and then is done
Von gave so much money back this year it’s crazy. I’m a big Von fan if he can still do it a decent level, like 7-8 sacks.
Miller gave up cash. And was playing great before the ACL. Not the same thing at all.
Probably will in 2025. Really can't in 2024. Besides, the Bills are thin at Edge this year. They have a WR by committee for 2024. Hopefully Von looks better this year than last.
Something happened with Josh and Diggs. After Diggs snapped at him on the sideline during the Bengals game, they never repaired what was broken. I think the Bills brass just thought that during last year's offseason, time away would help everything. And remember, they just went through almost watching Damar Hamlin pass away on the football field so it was understandable they thought everyone just needed time away to recharge. But in the end, time away still didn't fix what was broken. After this year, you could tell everyone was emotionally done with trying to make things work. You never want to take on a dead cap hit like that, but everyone needed fresh starts.
The thing that hurts is the Bills went for it with the Von Miller move. That was their Super Bowl team, but he got hurt.
Florio looks like he’s about to break down on the thumbnail 😂
Well, I’m quite sure that, when Beane traded for Diggs, Brandon knew full well that Stefon was a great receiver but a potential pain in the a-s as well. It was medium risk, high reward probably, maybe even high risk. But at the time I thought, and Beane probably thought the same, that the Bills could corral Diggs just enough to make things work. I’m highly doubtful that Beane assumed it would fail. Well, Beane does have to pay the Piper though now, unfortunately. And so do the Bills. Gulp.
best wr room Allen has ever had
Dalton bout to be our number 1 option...Go Bills!!!
Why didn’t they do it last year? I think a 29 yr old Diggs was worth the trouble, but a 30 year old Diggs, who’s production fell off a cliff the 2nd half of last year, was not worth the trouble. Good for Beane getting a nice draft pick out of the deal.
Mike , your a Vikings fan. You know what the deal was . Chris is right. Buffalo has moved on even though it hurts. We wanted Diggs to work but they were done with him. Joe Brady said “ everyone is going to eat” …. No more forcing the ball to 14 because he’s a crybaby if he doesn’t get the ball.
Isn’t this the guy who commented on how the Rams managed their cap?
Interesting.
Rams won a Super Bowl though, what have the Bills won?
Mike seems to forget that the bills offense was not predicated around Diggs in the second half of the season after Joe Brady took over. These Tired narratives are just getting old
The Bills were willing to trade Diggs once they figured out that they could win without his contribution. They got rid of him at the exact perfect time and next year they’ll have a second round pick because of it.
Maybe they didn't receive a 2nd Rd pick offer like they did this yr 🤷🏽♂️
"the albatross is still there now" - yes, that's the point. You eat that albatross now when you are going into an exceptionally deep WR draft when you can get a guy that you pay almost nothing. You do it next year, and you are still paying 20 million dead and your team is getting worse and you maybe don't have a chance to draft a young replacement
Brandon beane can spin anything 😂😂😂
He has to he can’t say the truth because even though Digs was a cancer they can’t talk bad abt him because it’s a bad look to other players around the league that might want to come to Buffalo! Culture matters ! Go Bills !
He politely spun the real issue. They didn't want to take that hit but clearly diggs was such an issue that they had to take that hit. I think we will better b/c diggs demanded throws which limited allen to go thru progressions.
They werent getting a 2nd rounder for him last year MIke.
He stirred up trouble in the off-season and dropped his value.
Diggs took off to Europe for months, never addressed his issues...
then came back and caused an issue the 1st day of camp. He was
always trouble. watch the video going back years he wants every
pass to go his way...if it doesnt he throws his hands up.
You would prefer he said, "The guy was a pain in the butt who didn't show up for the second half of last season, who never showed up for us in the playoffs, who might have cost us the divisional last year, and who ran back to the huddle after the most egregious drop in years laughing and saying 'missed it by this much!'."?
Well, actually, that's a rhetorical question. I know you would have eaten that up, Mike. There's precious little else to talk about in the off season.
IT’S ACTUALLY SMART NOW TO TAKE THE CAP HIT NOW. MORE GM’S SHOULD FRONT LOAD INSTEAD OF BACK LOADING CONTRACTS.
Thank you!!
You don't do it last year because you're not sure what Shakir and Kincaid can do. This year you have a better idea. And the fact that these WRs are on cheap rookie deals is WHY you eat the hit this year
Allen is a fixture the next 5 years and wants to deal with a flat cap vs increasing cap, because this year is where the Allen contract starts increasing by $15M every year.
Precisely, all the major cap moves from here on out are going to have extra attention given to them I would strongly suspect (and hope, lol), particularly after this Diggs and Von contract debacle. Maybe Von still plays out, but with Josh's contract kicking in full gear, any top level contracts we are going to pay out are going to have to be essentially home-runs. Kinda like Ed Oliver. You knew you were at least getting a stud with a good attitude, ...and potentially, a superstar, hopefully they take this approach moving forward. Another obvious example would be Khalil. I think Beane has the right idea though,...so I'll continue to trust the process for now, I suppose lol
He's going to get an extension in the next couple years and that can will be kicked further down the road. It's not really a concern in the grand scheme. Von's money will be gone in 2025. They're going to have lots of quality cheap talent from this year's draft and next year too. They'll be fine.
They definitely dod the right thing by getting rid of him, but taking that cap hit seemd like just bad bargaining
Again, Florio, speaking without knowing what he’s talking about. If they would’ve released him last year after June 1, they would’ve had the same cap charges and not had a number 1 receiver last year.
Beane said that and why not run him with the team and trade him if you are planning on taking the hit?
The Bills always a brides maid.
Florio, take it easy dude... Remember your ticker
* Stefon -Diggs- Diva
Does Sims think yellow jackets make honey?
Allen .Kincaid .Cook..can beat half the NFL
he's gonna get out of the way this year for the 3peat and hit the ground running in 2025
Diggs didn’t produce in playoffs
Also lost kc game.
Fumble drop drop
His attitude and unwillingness to run block won’t be missed
At the end of the day, the day has ended. Did we mention the end of the day?
I think the bills are in better shape now then with diggs he was toxic and diggs was a non factor last half of the season including playoffs where diggs dropped a crucial catch against KC in the playoffs no place to go but up fur the bills less money less headaches
GMs who pay a majority of a salary and/or take cap hits for players not on the team, should be fired.
Stephon is washed and will be WR3 in Texans by the end of the year… might get 1000 yards cause he has a stud throwing him the ball…. But if Stephon was on like the titans or Pittsburgh he would be on his way out the league
$31.1 million against the bills 2024 cap.🧢
How much does one pay to remove a malignant tumor? About $30 mil, apparently.
Josh can't throw. He's unqualified
Beane sure can sell. Sure can talk.
But can he put together a championship team? Jury is out - long out.
Beane is way ahead of the curve with paying stupid money for receivers,,took the medicine now move on
Diggs is not a top receiver.... Smart move by Buffalo. Mike is a terrible sports blogger....
Kaili Shakir caught 39 of 45 targets !!! That's 86%...very...very...very special. Diggs caught about 67% of his targets. Diggs was averaging 11 yards per reception...while Kalil averages over 15 yds per catch. I'm sorry but...I'm taking Kalil over Diggs...and if he don't like it then tough titties...
Bills will take a step backwards this year
Nope
Will still win the division lol
Nah there defense might struggle…. But offense they about to surprise.
LOL, Not just b/c of getting rid of Diggs. They have good backs, good Tight Ends and good WR's. Diggs was a huge issue the last few years. I bet the offense will not miss him.
I don’t think they take a step back. Last year was so challenging with so many defensive injuries but MCDermott taped it together and made it work….(till the divisional round when the continued injuries became too much) So I think this year’s defense will be just fine. The offense might take a little time to gel but in the end, they have Josh Allen and I think it will all come together.
Bean did the right thing. Diggs was a mutant & cancer. Mainstream media keeps making a big thing about an over the hill, 30+yr old WR running his mouth when the Bills were better without him, which was evident for half the season last year. Simms makes this show, the other guy is a lefty mainstream clown.
Beans is a professional BSer I’m a bills fan and him and McDermott suck tbh. They came from a losing franchise and don’t know how to be winners. They’re average with a amazing talent at quarterback
Too bad Brandon Beane isn’t handling our National Debt which I think might’ve just crossed 35 trillion. If he were he’d say, “We need to cut spending, maybe raise taxes for everyone - and I mean everyone - have a balanced budget or better, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll grow our way out of this mess.” But taking the whole hit now is painful in the short term but he’s right because next year they’ll be free from it. Oh, and by the way: one of the reasons for our current high inflation and higher home mortgage rates is overspending. Thank you and please vote for me in 2024 ;-)
ARE YOU OK?
Sir this is a Wendy’s
When you cut spending, you slow the economy.
Increasing taxes helps nothing.
Beane is like Javier Milei. Doing what’s responsible for his team/country, even if it hurts in the moment.
