Beane said it yesterday. “Your biggest players have to make the biggest plays in the biggest games.”
We aren't missing anything with Diggs gone. He was a no show for 2nd half of the season, especially the playoffs!
Go figure that's when they started winning lol
U were nothing before him.
He was a no-show for all big games.
@@hismajesty3567 go and check his numbers man. He was top 5 WR last 4 years.
@@hismajesty3567 Allen was causing too many Turnovers bro.
How can anyone be shocked? It was inevitable. Give it time. Diggs won’t be happy there, either
He might be. He’ll have a qb that doesn’t turn the ball over every other drive
Whatever dude-Diggs is just a big crybaby-Good Riddins!!!!! @danielbright2425
If you're right, the Texans still have a bright future. Though I expect Diggs will become very undesirable if he has three teams push him out the front door. Only the truly desperate will pay for him after that.
@@danielbright2425 sure and Allen won't have a big cry baby that does nothing in the playoffs. And drops bombs dropped right into his hands 😂. Dudes no better just makes excuses.
They have Nico, Tank and Schultz. He won't get the targets he did in Buffalo
After that Bengals game, everything seemed different with Diggs-Allen like that same bond wasn’t there anymore.
It never was, Diggs is a now obvious covert narcissist.
The attitude was bad for Buffalo's locker room. I wanted him gone last year. I wish him the best but glad he is gone.
His attitude was that he desperately wants to win a Super Bowl. As do I.
I know, why welcome a competitive person into that locker room? McDermott doesn't want that. He wants (and gets) the status quo. Our window officially closed with a trip to Houston. We could open it again by jettisoning Sean, but why rock the boat? We're getting a new stadium!!!!
@@atlasking6110 he should play better in big games. wanting it is one thing, playing well in the games that can get you there is another. he averages 45 yards per game in the playoffs.
My belief is that he wanted to be traded.
It was in the works, that's why his contract wasn't restructured
I'm so excited about next year. I honestly think they need to upgrade the offensive and defensive lines. Forget about drafting wrs bc they will do better with what they have now. Tom Brady won so many years without star wrs.
That is very true, but is Josh Allen Tom Brady?@@vivienneduong6541
Diggs was Dorseys target. Brady spreads the ball around because it's a team, not the Diggs show
Who is Brady? Bobby Slowik is a way better coordinator.
I agree Brady got this and the Bills will be fine without him and those that have departed...... Go Bills 🏈🦬
Great point Sondra.
Team ball yes but still had the same outcome
I see ppl saying that the young qb in Houston will be better than better Allen next yr with all those weapons
The FACT that we were all team WR before this should have told us a lot more than it did. Diggs is NOT a #1 anymore.
I'm excited to see where this goes. They needed to regroup and Diggs was dropping balls and didn't think the Bills were good enough for him.
Diggs 12% drop rate, Gabe 10%, Kincaid 6% and Shakir 3%. And I think this will help with Allen's INTs as now he won't feel like he has to force targets Diggs' way to keep him happy.
He didn’t think they were good enough to win the AFC championship. And he was right!
@@markgolden6265if he and Sherfield caught the damn ball we beat the Chiefs and perhaps we do win it all. So we will keep players who can catch when it matters from now on I suppose. Smart policy that would be. Also, try to avoid narcissists like Diggs.
I think you guys are downplaying Shakir and Kincaid too much. They have a lot of potential in my eyes.
Josh Allen is the ENGINE of this team. Diggs was only a tire. Granted, the car can't move with out even just one tire, but it's easy to replace a tire. Poetically, most of Bills Mafia were, "tired" of the Diggs drama.
Few facts: Josh allen rating when throwing to Diggs: 73
Josh Allen rating when not throwing to Diggs: 93
Randy Moss was traded at 30 years of age for a 4th-round pick
Allen's rating when throwing to Shakir 140, Kincaid 100, Davis 71
Ok Dan Mitchell
Randy Moss is a HOFer
@@ericimicranky much? Dude made a valid point. Who cares where he got the info…
Who can he throw to
I wish we got more for him in compensation. Glad the drama has moved on. Good luck Texans.
Keenan Allen only got a 4th and Amari Cooper only got a 5th. A 2nd seems pretty decent for a wr that was 3rd in catches, yards and TDs over the last 12 games of the season.
We don’t need one of the top 3 there are 3-4 other guys who will fit well in our office as Cossel said with taster he is not a #1 anymore and isn’t the #1 on the Texans
So Stephen A Smith and Maddy Glab were both right after all
Unfortunately Diggs is a narcissist and locker room cancer.
DIGGS SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS MOUTH CLOSED .
Closed about what? LeSean McCoy said on his FS1 show that he spoke with Trevon Diggs a while ago (he didn't specify the exact time) and he told him that his brother was going to end up in Houston. So this was probably cooking for a while. Diggs went to the Super Bowl media scrum saying he was ready for whatever, it seemed like he was very aware that he was most likely moving. It seemed like this is what he wanted. So he gets to go play for an up-and-coming team that everyone expects to be a postseason threat, and the Bills get left holding $30m in dead cap, a lost 2020 1st round pick that materialized into one AFC title appearance, and a WR room lacking depth and experience. The Bills did not win this trade by any stretch.
They didn't win the battle but they may win the war @@jdeljones
JDE Even though I agree with what you said the Bills didnt win the trade. But wait until either after the draft or see how this team is put together during the Season. Actually they had no choice the longer Diggs was in Buffalo the more Toxic he was.
@@jdeljonesif Diggs was so unhappy he shouldn't have accepted the big contract, Beane did everything he could to make him happy, I honestly don't care about losing him as much as the cap hit...he is 30 years old and clearly lost a step..never showed up for the playoffs either
@jdeljones You think? Still the draft and Other players available. That 2nd round pick will be pick #33-43, so that's worst a lot. Wait and see what Beame does 1st before going typical Bills fan, gloom doom and death 🙄
I think it was the right decision, he clearly was unhappy and don't need that atmosphere in the locker room. The Bills can do well in the draft and getting younger will be good long term.
Stefon Diggs' average output across his last 13 games last season (including playoffs) was 5.2 catches for 48.9 yards. Had only four 20-yard catches over that span.
He wasn’t “HIM” anymore
And his targets were the same, he honestly brought the team down during that time. The only thing I'm worried about is that it'll make defenses have an easier job working against us because they don't have the looming threat of diggs anymore.
He will pop off in Houston and it was be a lopsided trade for Houston when they win a Super Bowl
@@danielbright2425I’m laughing at this comment and dying right now. Houston winning a SB, lmao…
Sure.
Allen is better than stroud. Teams had zero tape on stroud. I'm willing to bet he has same season as last year. I don't think he takes some massive leap forward. I think Texans are being supremely overhyped. They have an aging runn8ng back who will only be slower. 3 undersized wrs. One coming boffins seas9n ending injury that will handicap him this year.
Overhyped like our bills were
I would love nothing more than to see Buffalo womp the texans in the playoffs this year. You already know that's what's coming.
I’m glad to see him go. He pulled the same crap in Minnesota.
And he'll pull the same in Houston....give him some time.
He is a guy who has to make it about him. We all know people like this and they don’t change.
So many people upset. I wanted this. I saw a player in 2023 who seemed to give up on his team. The silver lining was the emergence of Shakir as Diggs became lackadaisical and unreliable for Allen.
I don’t blame him. Buffalo sucks and will never be in the real conversation for contending for a Super Bowl. Turnovers everywhere out there from John Allen
Enjoying making a fool of yourself? I think bowling is probably more your kind of sport. No IQ required. @@danielbright2425
@@danielbright2425awe-someone is grumpy and needs a hug. These takes are sooooo bad & off…
Yep, his body language in games said he didn't want to be there and wasn't all in. I'm guessing that is the reason for all the drops and inability to separate. Go draft some WR that want to be here AND aren't drama queens. GB drafted a bunch of WR last year. It can be done. This front office just hasn't put forth the effort to do it in the past.
@@danielbright2425
You better he doesn’t derail your Houston Texans this year
Easily the most quintessential addition by subtraction move this off-season, bar-none!
I get the frustration but let’s be real. We went 7-1 with Steph catching maybe 3 balls. If you talk to film guys like Greg cosell he couldn’t separate and he isn’t a 1 anymore. Even KC mocked him saying no bro we didn’t double you. You’re not even a decoy. I’m more upset at the money we ate and the draft pick being next year but this team needs to get younger and better. Kincaid was probably our best offensive weapon next to cook last year and he was a rookie. im ok with this. it makes us better in the long run as long as we dont totally miss on draft picks.
Finally, somebody who gets half of it. Here's the other half: He's toxic and criticizes the one guy on this team who goes all out every game
The Bills went 7 -1 because the defense balled out. Held 4 of those teams to 17 points or less. Allen didn’t play well in any of those wins except for the fact that his turnovers went down because the Bills were running the ball more.
Look at Allen’s playoff stats. They won bc of decent defense despite terrible injuries on that side of the ball and we had a good run game. Diggs was a non factor end of the year. Shakir didn’t drop a pass and was getting separation. I love diggs but he’s on the downside. Maybe another good year left but he’s 31. I’ll take a stud young dude for another 10 years and the draft has plenty. You can take the headaches with you. This dude just mocked JA who made him millions and gave him all pros. You want a guy on your team that talks like that about his QB? He will be pissed when tank dell and Nico get more targets
@@mazzvidznobody likes your stupid negative Allen hating comments. Diggs was a declining 31 yo cancer. Good riddance!
Couldn't care less about losing Diggs ...the cap hit is what bothers me, could have gotten someone who showed up for playoff games 😡
This story is not done ... hang in there
Well, his drop off towrds the end and constantly asking for the ball and then in the big game missing it and holding up the two fingers like it was just that close. Thanks, Diggs, but cya!
I was a little taken back at first but it's not surprising. He has showed his disinterest on the field and off the field. It is what it is but when Brady took over the offense he basically showed that we can move on without him as Diggs was really not much of a factor down the stretch. He is still a hell of a receiver but he checked out during the season.
I never wanted to see this day with any of these men that helped turn this organization around but every dog has his day! It would of been great to see all those guys win 🏆 a super bowl together. Fair well and thank you guys for everything you've done. Bills Mafia 🏈💯
$31M in exchange for a more coheisve wide receiver and locker room. Might just pay dividends.
Lol
Been waiting all day for this. The longer I’ve thought about this the more excited i am for this season!!
I agree, Josh needs to put the clubs down and get ready for a wild season. He better work on looking through his reads quicker because he just lost his failsafe guy. However, I believe BB has a plan and it’s going to interesting to sit back and watch.
Been waiting all day for this!! Needed to hear my favs talk it out. Feel better Mike!
I’m really not surprised by this, this saves so much future money. We weren’t gonna sign anyone else significant this offseason anyways. For 4 more mil this season, it ain’t a big deal, but saving the money next year and getting any value for him at all is a big deal because he may not have any value next year. And that makes room to draft two wide receivers.
It’s not a 2024 second rounder, it’s a 2025 second rounder
We already know that bud
It’s also Minnesota’s second rounder which will likely be a high round pick
@@orphy6869exactly. Probably a pick in the mid-high 30s…
Minus the 5th and 6th rounders they had to throw in to seal the deal. 😂
@@CorePathwaythose 5-6 round picks are adjustments from Minnesota 2nd round vs Houston pick
Welcome to Buffalo Brandon Aiyuk 🤘
Been a bill fan since 1986 much love from us .
Lot of stuff beyond the scenes, wait and see!
I always say Trust the Beane. I can’t believe they did this without already having a plan
They have a plan. I'm sure they're super sorry for not informing you.
Diggs must had a problem in the locker room to cause the trade.
Bills immediately opened up over $27M of 2025 cap space and got a 2nd round pick for a guy who’ll be 32-years-old next year, Beane is a BALLER and you’re all too busy caught up in your feelings to know it!!!
Right. I mean, the Bills have had so much success. I mean they've got, oh, uh, five playoff wins in four years.
2024 is matter too lmao
@@smartmustafemedia8511 - and they added ammunition to move up.
@@Willtellthetruth
There's only one team in the AFC that has more. I think you know who they are. Something has been limiting us and maybe this will turn out to be a plus like losing Hill was for them.
@@charlie-obrien but...that mystery team...has a great coach
It was a combination of factors: Diggs' age, his decreasing production, his lack of playoff production, and his seemingly increasing diva behavior outweighed what it would cost to get rid of him. He was a big contributor to this team's success the last few seasons, but it was time to move on.
I am way more worried about Matt Milano coming back than Diggs
?
What’s going on with that??!?!!
He fractured his fibia & supposedly tore nothing, so coming back is not an issue
Milano will be back for the 2024season.
Just like the Viking fans warned Bills Mafia, Diggs became a distraction and toxic and he had to be moved. This was the most needed move for this roster. It was time to move on. Diggs was and is a drama queen. He was never content, and at the end of the day, he was not a good leader. Leaders to act like immature brats like Diggs did in Buffalo. Time for the end of the Diggs drama. I for one am happy he is gone.
I really hope this manifests into Beane moving up to pick Odunze, or one of the LSU guys. Go get another #1 guy!!
Odonze would be perfect for Josh.
I'm shocked but I'm happy also. Being a fan for 40+ years, too much drama
I’m not gonna lie I needed this podcast today. Will be hard to replace him, but we had to move on at some point. Maybe a season too early, but we shall see
If they are willing to trade him and have that much in dead cap money, what does it say about Von Miller? Would he be gone if he hadn't been willing to cut his pay?
come on its clear when steff said you sure josh went to bean and said get rid of him I DONT NEED HIM!!!!
I agree 100%
Not shocked we are moving him but I thought it would be next year. Now we have a big hole at the position. Hoping for a big move up in the draft
Dan, I don't know where you're idea that Diggs is a top 10 receiver comes from. You look at the last 10 games and he got beat by our WR3. Sure he was doubled but #1's still produce.
The Bills have needed a WR before the draft. Everyone knew if they are making a big move in the draft in the draft everyone knows why they are doing it. Just because they got rid of Diggs, it doesn't show their hand anymore than it did prior to the trade.
Chiefs said they did not double or bracket Diggs, sooo
Hope he finally finds happiness dropping passes in Houston.
Remember there are no games until September.
Rented Stefon Diggs for 4 years of his prime. Paid a 1st. He’s not in his prime anymore. Get a 2nd. We move on.
We dropped maybe 10 draft slots 4 years into the future for 4 years of Prime Diggs.
What a huge win when thinking big picture. Dead cap blows. However, it also ends. Got out for a 2nd before it’s too late.
This is a baseball style trade minus that Diggs wasn’t on a first contract. Deal the vet and maximize return before you end up getting squat. BIG DUBS.
I couldn’t agree more! It will end up being a high 2nd round pick too
Does anyone else notice how Dan gets a lot of these football shit wrong? No more THUMBS UP for you Dan until you earn it!
Dan was wrong a lot this offseason lol
He doesn’t know football. Classic case of thinking you’re smarter and more intelligent than you actually are
@@TheJaJe. nah Dan is right as many times as he’s wrong. It was just funny in the beginning when he kept saying how many things he got wrong this offseason
@@themambaking2478 if you’re right 50% of the time, you’re an F student. My point stands, and it showcases your intelligence too, bud.
@@TheJaJe.This isn't school and not graded the same. Apples to oranges and then you throw out an insult; showing you intellect... Bud
@@TheJaJe. why are you so mad? I just thought part of the video was funny and you turn into a snowflake
Neon beer signs in the studioooo, yo 🍻🤜🏼
I'm so glad he gone like really glad.
I think the bills will be back again in the playoffs even stronger than we have ever been as of April 28th
I asked yesterday if you could have more updates. And here you are!
The numbers you guys noted say it all. The Bills were fed up and were willing to take the financial loss to lose this pain in the ass distraction. Let's just put it out there. I totally get it. Look at what the Chiefs did two years ago during the off season. Two Super Bowl wins later, it seems to have worked out. I'm MORE than confident in the Bills. Dan, take the winter coat off; you're not a rapper or a gangster. Seriously. Lose the winter coat inside the studio on April third.
Your time to shine, guys. If only we could go 1 and 15 next year.
After what Diggs said on twitter ,
It was the only reason beane would eat that 31 Million
What was his tweet?
@@Dave-ew4jbGoogoo Gaagaa. That's pretty much what he said every year. His brother Trevon is more annoying than he is.
Damn, the Bills traded Diggs basically for a used washing machine. On the bright side, it must be a pretty good washing machine so I’m excited. Go Bills!
"Diggs doesn't cause drama" - you sure ?
While I was shocked, do believe it was the right move depending on who the draft and how he does. Also I do believe that Josh was completely on board with this. Don’t believe they would make this move without his blessing
If he did not want to be there, this is the right move for everyone - I can't wait to see what Josh does this year 🦬💙❤️
Turn the ball over at a historically pace
Nah
Not shocked with the trade but absolutely shocked with the value the Bills got!!!!! Getting a 2nd!!!!! This shows how much stock value he has lost!!!!
Diggs is going to be miserable next season when cj isn't what everyone thought he was
Yup 1 year means nothing now teams have a full year to look at him on film
Dan, thank you for stepping aside from your vacation for this emergency pod we all needed!!! Important question of which is your Celcius of choice. That looked like my old pal Passionfruit mango but my new favorite is strawberry lemon.
As much as I do like Diggs and his abilities, it was time to move on. The lack of production the last two thirds of the season coupled with his ghosting in the playoff games AND the usual subliminal "unhappy" social media texts. This team doesn't need it.
Been waiting all day for this one
Now I agree with everyone else. The Bills will pickup a wide reciever
Jenna, thank you for the true updates re wrStefon. Moving forward, good decision by GM Brandon & Coach Sean. Cheer ya, Lady!
Cosel keeping it real saying diggs days as a number 1 are over. didnt hold any punches!
As a Texans fan one man's trash is another man's treasure
1200 yards 8 TDs
Thanks 😊
Management knows something the public does not know. How good are the 4 WR the Bills have.
The Bills heard Dan say the cap isn’t real and we’re like Hold my beer
You need to subtract Diggs salary from the $31m which end up with less then $4m cost.
No… the Bills owe Diggs 31 million in guarantees, a lot of which was paid out in signing bonuses and just hasn’t hit the cap yet.
Don't worry. We have Shorter.
I'm glad the drama will stop but we still need some help
Hey Dan, Uncle Kevin says bring in your grammer school clay artwork to the podcast. Lol. Also on the Sabres game last night tv showed Pegula, said he's watching the game. He wasn't, he was on his phone, not watching. I think that's when Diggs trade happened. And I think the Bills want to be very good for years, but not go ALL in for 1 SB. Just do enough to get into the playoffs and hope. Hasn't worked yet. But nice to have a competitive team every year vs drought years.
I don't think this is as big of a deal as ppl think, we been wanting to move towards a 2 TE team since we drafted Kincaid, and I believe he takes the step and becomes a top 2 TE this year, and Knox does damage as well. Shakir and Samuel are pretty good too, and we still have the draft. No need to panic. Diggs was being catty on Social media all the time and it was starting to effect team chemistry, had to be done, I love Diggs, thanks for the years, but it was time.
I have said this a few times, Mr. B for do this he had a plan either he trade for an established W/R or trade up and I mean up in this upcoming draft to take a can't miss W/R, honestly that's all I will say about this.
KC's receiver room was bad last year yet they won the Super Bowl ... so RELAX
That's cause they have the best qb and tightend that kno how to win
I'm ok with it, things change it sucks but needed to happen. Obviously management was ready to make this move.
I saw this news via a post on FB, and I had to check the date to see if it was not from April 1st. I'm still not sure how I feel. I hope subsequent draft and trade moves will make me feel better about the ability of the Bills' WR corps going forward. Go Bills!
If you could draft 2 wrs other than the top 3, who would they be? BTJ and Worthy? McConkey and Legette?
Ladd at 28 and move up in the second round for legette
27 Catches. 0. TD's in the last 3 years of the playoffs. Plus his performance dropped the second half of last season and the Bills went from a 500 team to the Playoffs.
Love Yall
Diggs dug himself into that hole. I'm a Packer fan as well as BUF, so it was really tough to stomach, hoping that he had grown up and kind of woke up to the fact that he is a phenomenal talent and an adult... I have even more respect now for his talent (regardless of whether or not Steph is in decline), but it's a damn shame that I was right to call him a diva when we traded for him...
Also, as per studio ideas, I miss the red helmets so much, it is a bold and aggressive color scheme and I think it befits the tenacity exhibited by Buffalo Plus. Thanks for bringing it all the time!
I was watching local TV when Diggs pretended to defecate on the goalposts at Lambeau Field...
As a fan, I like Diggs for many reasons including how he made a point to interact with younger fans. I’m not sure I’d enjoy coaching or managing him. I will continue to wish him the best during and after his career. I wonder how the heat and humidity will affect him.
I wouldn't be surprised if we took a reciever in the first 2 rounds in fact I would love that
It was definitely surprising at first, and I still don't know if I'll fully believe it until the season starts or at least training camp, but I think there is another deal in the works but they are a little strapped for cash now. They have to move up in the draft now. They just have to.
Also, I wouldn't be opposed to you putting a picture of me right on that shelf next to the football guy! It'll be like I'm staring at the back of Mike's head! I think it would spruce up the room nicely 😂
I mean, theoretically Diggs could have a Probowl season, but I just don't see it. His problems last year were not Josh Allen. There's nothing CJ can do that Josh couldn't in regards to Diggs. Diggs problem in the 2nd half of last year was not being able to separate and dropping balls. He can fix the drops, but I don't think he can fix the separation issue. He lost a step, and today's DBs are too fast for him.
There's also the issue of the QB sophomore slump, which is a very real thing. We've seen quite a few hot-shot rookie QBs that take a step back in their 2nd and sometimes 3rd season. NFL DCs have a whole season of tape to review when preparing for them now. So I think CJ has a long fruitful career in front of him. I think he's very good. I just think there's a real chance that CJ takes a little bit of a step back now that DCs have seen him.
it was just time for a change to get younger you’re seeing the Chiefs do it it’s time to get younger
its a team sport, not a Diggs sport, or Allen for that matter. Gotta build a good team, its that simple.
Well I see very little positive in this trade I don’t see why we did this other then diggs flat out causing drama because what do we gain with this maybe a jump up to mid first round
$4 million less in CAP space than we already had. Let's pay $31million in dead cap this season opposed to the $27million Diggs would've made... Done with this franchisw after 38yrs. Maybe I'll follow Diggs or Davis since I've apent thousands of dollars to collect their cards for what? To pay others to take our best WR?!? F*CKING JOKE! I gave Beane benefit of doubt by always supporting his moves but after this past season & current offseason I'm done... Call me if we ever win the AFC Championship again (not likely throwing away our BEST TALENT). At this point I hope JA17 goes to a winner bc this organization isn't it & he deserves better.
@@tombullard6167 clearly diggs was not liked but front office and josh Allen because if josh wanted him to stay he would still be here
Like Mc.Dermott said last year, VERY CONCERNED!!! +31.million in dead cap???😮😤😡
Diggs was traded because he could no longer be the man in the crunch . . . his performance declined in the second half of the past two seasons. Attitude was secondary. Time for bigger faster younger inexpensive motivated receivers (Ala Shakir and Kinkaid and maybe Shorter . . and TWO rookie WRs).
Beane has a multi year strategy in place. 2024 season will be a reload and evolve year but will be near peak performance when the new stadium opens. But also the old guard (players/coordinators) did not get over the hump, it was time for change and a new era.
SB window isn’t closed but the window on this regime is make or break this year. Lots of pressure on Beane with this move.
It was apparent that Diggs wanted out otherwise they wouldn't have traded him in such a way. Its unfortunate but you could see it coming this last season, he wasn't happy and not playing like himself.
