Give credit to Houston, they maximising their talent around a true QB1 whilst he is still on a rookie deal
Bears payed more for claypool lol
I think letting Claypool go with no cap / dead money hit via Miami trading for him from Bears, and Dolphins failing to develop him as well softened the blow 😅
Bills will regret trading away Diggs more so than Chitown trading for Chase two years ago
-
They got DJ Moore and Keenan Allen the very next two off seasons 😂
Chicago is set at WR almost
@chrisrakow9745 claypool... what a waste of talent, i really hoped that that trade had worked out.
¡BEAR DOWN!
Yeah but, honestly, going into it, you just had to think Claypool was gonna be the guy. Sometimes good decisions just don't wok out.
Diggs is significantly more expensive, older and an even bigger cancer than Claypool. Plus when the Bears traded for him they were right around .500 so the pick was unknown in the 2nd round.
Paid
What a relief. Getting rid of Diggs was the most important job of the preseason. Time to move on.
WRs often decline rapidly after 30. Calculated gamble by the Texans, breath of fresh air for the Bills.
It should pay off they're not bringing him to be the wide receiver 1. They just want another solid weapon to throw to. Kinda like when OBJ went to the rams
@@Mike-sg2xv That would be a solid point IF Diggs didn't think of himself as a WR1. Diggs thinks he's going to get 150+ targets and cash in for a giant payday next season ..... but he's in for a rude awakening on an offense that should be more balanced than ever. This is a one year rent-a-player situation where the rented player is almost assuredly going to be an unhappy distraction before the playoffs. I'm not even a Bills fan but Diggs constant unhappiness is absolutely exhausting and I've never even rooted for any of his teams. He's overpaid and over targeted, declining, and desperate to hit the open market. A rude awakening is in his future.
@@user-xg4lo2uk7k well they did wipe away 3 years left on his deal meaning he’ll be free agent next year so even if he complains or whatever they’re just gonna have him for 1 season. So basically he’s on a prove it deal with his play on the field and his diva stuff. But as a Texans fan I think it’ll be alright they have the most potential to win a ring now, at least on paper, and i personally think he’ll see that it’s highly likely they can get it done.
Seems like the non-Bills' media is years' late on their takes. White, Poyer, Hyde, Morse, and Diggs have been absent, on IR, or in decline for quite a while now. The 2023 Bills already took the hits, moved on, and rebuilt around different players. Their late win streak, AFC East title, and playoff run were not led the guys they cut.
I keep saying this on the Buffalo rumblings website. Anyone who watched Buffalo's surge last season knows what's up.
Don't underestimate Beane. There is no way he makes this trade without a plan.
Texans: "I'll give you $5 & you give me $15" . . . Bills, "Ok ..."
😂😂😂
I personally wouldn't invite cancer into the locker room... but to each their own.
@@seanbeck3042 🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ybmsimba2410 Ask Minnesota. He's good for a year. Then he becomes a whiny cancer.
The Texans are paying diggs salary... And they gave buffalo a 2nd round pick.
Ppl are saying they are just building around CJ but forget…They signed Danielle Hunter, Azeez, Denico Autry, Jeff Okduah, CJ Henderson for Will Anderson. It’s not just they are building around CJ they are building around BOTH Rookies of the Year. Not to mention they still have enough ammo to back into the first if someone defensively (Nate Wiggins, Cooper, Newton,) falls……….
he was crap in the entire second half of the season and the playoffs. He dropped the pass of his life in the playoffs against KC on the final drive. He's on the wrong side of 30 now. He's finished. The Bills got a great return on him.
A few ways to think of this. It basically takes another team out of the WR talk for the draft. So it helps them there. They eat $3m this year more, but long term free up space. They get the headache out of the way early on, instead of like what happened at training camp last year. And in the end, they get compensation for a WR that looked washed the second half of the season and playoffs last year. They will draft a WR and be fine.
How was Diggs wash his first 8-10 games he was almost at a 1,000 yards buffalo fired there OC in keep Diggs out of offense they stop throwing it to him which was stupid
@youngfleat I can not imagine Allen would just stop throwing it to Diggs if he was open, no matter the play.
@@youngfleathe couldn't get open. They weren't trying to avoid him. A lot of his targets were forced into tight coverage
Bringing in a guy like this, on a team like that, is certainly an...interesting move.
Let's see how this goes when he's looking at free agency and is getting #2 WR targets on a team that has 3 solid options and also likes to run the ball. Talent wise, it's a good add. I feel like he's a much bigger pita than pubically understood, or BUF wouldn't have moved off him like this.
Diggs is still a top 10 receiver in the league. The 2 year deal is pefect for the dive WR. The biggest issue is: what defense in the NFL can handle Collins, Dell, Diggs, Schultz, Mixon, and Stroud when they are on the field at the SAME TIME? I see it being a huge problem across the NFL.
Hill, chase, waddle, Jetta, Higgins, aj brown, Devonta smith, lamb, Collins, nacua, kupp, metcalf, dj Moore, olave, Pittman jr, Keenan Allen, cooper, Pickens, Garrett Wilson, aiyuk, deebo, Evans, davante Adams, Ridley, Amon-ra, mclaurin. There, Diggs is wr 27 maybe 25 if you want to be generous
@@pkicitygaming you are smoking that Hunter Biden, cupcake. You lost me at Pittman and Ridley. How about we just look at next season and you embarrass yourself further?
@@pkicitygaming you literally only have 6 better than Diggs on your boyfriends list....
Definitely not top 10 and everyone agreed on that when he was still with the Bills.
Allen's success had something to do with Diggs but Allen broke out because of Daboll you can't ignore that. At the end of last season something changed Allen wasn't looking for Diggs as much as Shakir and Kincaid. Shakir spent this off season training with Eric Moulds. Beane has a plan, now next years draft just got a whole lot more interesting Buffalo has 1 first round pick and 2 second round picks as draft capital. Lastly before you write off Shakir he was the offense at Boise State that may not be the SEC but it's the conference Allen played in.
Yeah in you guys still couldn’t beat KC that doesn’t make any sense
You don't have two 2nds this year. The Stefon trade is for next year's 2.
@@thethumper088 That's what I said
@@thethumper088the dude was speaking in terms of trading assets. If Buffalo wanted to trade up a couple of spots a future 2nd would make it easier to move around
@@youngfleatnobody beat KC though.
Look at diggs stats in the last 6 or so games last year including playoffs, grade that and it’ll show you why it is similar to the Julio trade
Very good analysis!
Brain Thomas Jr. to the Bills is a lock now.
You must've meant ladd mcconkey or AD mitchell. Brian Thomas is going in the teens after he ran that 4.3
A wr is a lock
@@JN-ye8qoXaviar Legette
Bills are going to try and trade up for one of the big 3 WRs in this class.
Idk how
I think they are looking at Thomas and / or Mitchell. With needing at least two WR's in this draft to hedge their bet, I doubt they will move into the top 10. Pick 15 might be do-able....
I doubt that, it's a deep WR class, and Buffalo doesn't have a ton of assets to get into the teens in round 1. They could move up a few spots if someone falls but the top 4 WRs are out of the question. I'm looking at the 2nd and 3rd tier of WRs like Ladd Mcconkey, Xaviar Legette, Devontez Walker etc.
He's not done but he's not worth the BS...people in Buffalo don't even care at this point...he'll give Houston two solid years
I honestly think that’s what they’re going for. A lot of the big deals they’ve signed have only been for about 2-3 years. This feels like just another part of an all in push.
It'll be for just a couple of years. Collins and Dell are the long term. But after both were unavailable for the divisional round against the ravens, Caserio is making sure we are doing everything to have success. I'll take a flyer on what we gave up to get him.
He’ll be happier here. Way better city than Buffalo or Minnesota
I believe the BS, attitude, locker room- narrative is overblown. This trade happened because:
1)Stefon's play is in decline and he's over 30.
2) This year's WR class is extraordinarily talented and deep.
3) The Bills have draft capital, and how have an extra 2nd round pick to play with. That's not enough to trade in to the top 10, but enough perhaps to trade with Rams #19 and leapfrog a few AFC Rivals who are also seeking WR1's.
4) Other NFL teams have had success immediately plugging and playing good rookie WRs.
That’s all we need him for 😂
I still can't believe he dropped that long ball in the playoffs. Would've changed everything.
He stopped winning jump balls the last couple of years. Especially last year. I dont think he caught a single jump ball all year. It was extremely frustrating. You expect your WR1 to win some of those
@wd6358 yeah, I think the Bills see this in training too. They clearly don't think his current skill level matches his publicly perceived abilities
Bills should go after Tee Higgins now...
His iconic game changing playoff drop will never be forgotten 😅
damn Bills going into a mini rebuild
Great job carrying the show, Savvy Sam Monson! Tons of great info! You deserve a better partner.
Dont sleep on Hollins in Buffalo. Its a fit
Stefon Diggs is Antonio Brown
Texans went and robbed the bank and got away with it.
Sounds like addition by subtraction
If Diggs can keep his head out of his ass he can help make Houston smoke.
You can Have him 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Diggs only 290 yards and ZERO TOUCHDOWNS in the last 6 playoff games 😬
No we didn’t I would’ve been fine with a 3rd rounder but a 2nd nahhh
This class is hella deep at wr tho,and shakir was amazing in the playoffs
No mention of how high the Vikings 2025 2nd could be… that should be a pick in the 30’s.
Might be enough to move up, if necessary, in this year's 1st round....
@suscon1140 that's true
Listening to the cost, at some point someone in the Bills Org. must have said "Get him out of here, now!" I don't think it was planned either
I haven't heard of thier being any major issues or arguments between diggs and the bils management
The bills don't "pick up" any salary lol. Tell me you don't know how the cap works without telling me. The deadcap is for already paid services. The Texans are picking up his 4 year 75mil contract
As a Bills fan I don’t mind it cuz he’s regressing but the compensation I’m not a fan of
I'm dead bro we need a reliable wr1 we probably gonna have to trade up
@@warfamegaming Bills willtakea good wr at theend of 1st rd but they are going to miss out on getting a good OLineman~
Watch the Bills work
@@matthewmatt5285they need O-line depth not a starter. Depth is found in the mid to late Rds
Man if you’re a Bills fan you guys are delusional Diggs was ballin his first 8-10 weeks of the season buffalo fire there OC in they stop throwing it to Diggs 😂how do you stop throwing to your best WR your best play maker other than J-Allen smh 🤦🏽♂️
Wow! Why wouldn’t any other team have made this trade. Cmon falcons!
As a Texans fan W trade
What PFF doesnt notice is that the majority of Diggs stats came in the first 7 weeks of the season. In the final 10 games Diggs had 1 TD and 400+ yards. Rhats what Khalik Shakir had with half the targets😂
I love Tank in the slot but people don’t realize he’s pretty good on the outside as a 2
They will move around . Slowik is crafty
The pick that the Texans traded back with the Vikings that they sent to the Bills came from Cleveland. The DeShaun Watson deal just keeps morphing.
I can't wait to see his reaction if Tank Dell gets more targets than him cause he was crying every game in Buffalo. The Bills need to do like GB bunch of young WRs and spread the ball.
Goes to show what a growing cancer this guy was in locker rm.(also ask Vikings team) that they would trade him and still have a huge cap hit and only a 2nd rd. Pick in next years draft. I’m sure Beane will fix this issue in draft or trade. Promise you He won’t let his franchise QB left high and dry
No one wanted diggs on a trade, that’s why buf could only get a 2nd for him
Bobby Slowik reported seen streaking through Houston
Nick Caserio is a goddamn genius.
Did you guys ever talk about Hassan Reddick to the jets?
Dropsy Diggs!!
It signals how much of a cancer Diggs is/was. Bills know him better than anyone. Bills can fill his production with what they have and a deep WR prospect pool.
Diggs is probably going to get in Strouds ear and demand his 10 to 12 targets a game and he will either get them or he won’t and he will continue to be a disruptive malcontent whose best days are behind him.
I think the bills going for depth i could see them drafting leggitt and lad and being more run
Not with a QB like Allen. It wouldn't be smart. I think there are a lot of reasons the Bills made this move. Coming out of the draft with at least two high talent WR's - one of which could very well be Ladd (4.02 shuffle is CRAZY good) and Thomas or Mitchell and even a third in Leggette (who I really like too).
@@suscon1140 lol a disagreement then saying my point back to me exactly I would be confused but this is how you new mahs think and speak on the regular
Draft leggett and ladd...I know I'm not suscon1140 but... lol have a good day mate thanks for the chuckle 😂
Bills should be drafting two WR's high, especially in this draft, and possibly a third WR later on.
As a LONG time Bills fan, this may work out well for both Diggs and the Texans. The Texans get a really high caliber number 2 and Diggs gets out of the second half of the season Buffalo weather.....
the packers were able to reset there receiving corps in 2 years
Yeah it’s not hard you just need smart people in the building
Exactly
i only wanted a 3rd to get off the contract, ill take the 2nd.
2 things- first, a 10 point drop in pff grade, a half yard less per route run, and a career high in drops is a significant dropoff. Secondly, Diggs wasn’t right about leaving Minnesota. He left, and the guy they drafted to replace him got the work load that he was being a diva about.
Diggs wasn't happy, best for all to trade him, no?
Great job by Caserio!! We don’t need him as a #1 receiver as a 2 or 3 Diggs will tear it up!!
He wanted to be the focal point of the offense in Minnesota and Buffalo. That might change in Houston so we'll see if he's still impactful without the targets. This is the same guy who cried about targets when his team won a playoff game. His modeling career is going to take off.
It’s kinda funny the same year Hopkins was traded for a bag of chips so was Diggs and now the Texans are the ones making other trade to them for a bag of chips.😂
i really am annoyed because they are in our conference. You're telling me no one else would take this dude for a 2nd? It just feels like the BIlls aren't telling us the whole story
It wouldn't surprise me if Beane did him a solid by trading him to a contender and to a state with no income tax. I would've personally been fine trading him to a team like the panthers for a 3rd or 4th just as a middle finger for all the bs diggs has brought to the team and fanbase.
No 100 yard games after week 6 and 3 TDs since week 6.
I come here looking for football analysis and information and all I get is they messed up, they're stupid, they better do this, this is what I would do. Is this sports talk or kindergarden?
IN BEANE WE TRUST
worst WR room in the nfl? not even close lmao
Bills still have better receivers than Cardinals or Chargers who both lost their top 2 receivers from this past season and didn’t replace them yet. Samuel is better than any receiver either team has currently.
Playing the billies twice a year just got even more entincing.
Yall bout the have the #1 pick next year lol 🗑🗑🗑
patriots who are looking to be the bottom of the division again 😂
as a bills fan, I feel like i have no idea what is going on in buffalo these days
@@spicywe1nerthey shed contracts because there is a salary cap and a cancerous tumor. This is also one of the deepest WR classes in recent years. They are retooling. I’m not a Bills fan but what they are doing seems pretty obvious.
The AFC East will be shitty for the foreseeable future to elevate Tom Dinkin Dunkin' Donut Chin and Bill Bellicheat's legacy. Take it to the bank. Or if you just need simple reminder, Mac Jones is a dogshit YMCA flag football quarterback.
Looks like the Bills will have to do some restructuring to pay for their draft class. This trade looks like the end of FA for both of them too.
The Texans need OL, they need a secondary, they need LBers, they need draft picks, they don’t need a 3rd receiver.
Collins might be a one, dell might be a one, diggs might still be a one. There is one ball.
The OL is junk (source: PFF), the draft picks are sparse, and they are leveraging very hard on winning now. This will be a disaster if it doesn’t work to the tune of multiple Super Bowl wins.
I’m a Texans fan, i certainly hope it works, but they are paying a lot (and folks are glossing over the payment). Could win 3-4 games next year, stroud is not proven, dell could break completely, Anderson isn’t worth the cost yet.
Putting it all on 00 and yolo-ing it very hard. Happy Barkley didn’t happen (Mixon is a much better deal and maybe a better RB period).
Bro stop lmao as a Texans fan trust it man don’t worry.
As long as the Texans don't re-sign him to a long term contract it's a great trade.
Unlikely being that he's 30 and they have to pay Collins after this season.
@@phillipsouthard8285 Agreed, but that adds another concern. How disgruntle will he be playing on a 1 year deal? Did they really give up a 2nd for 1 year of Diggs?
@@grahamman80 well technically they have Diggs through 2027, but only guaranteed money is this year, so they can cut him after this year if they want. BUT, a second round pick (of there two 2nd round picks next year) for a top 10 WR. Worth it.
@@grahamman80i mean it’s worth it to do spend as much money as u can now while cj is still on a rookie deal
But more to the point, you need one?!…
Lol, you’re the best, Monson..
John 15:7
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
This smells like Russell Wilson's trade. Diggs might have physically fallen off the cliff already.
CJ only needed Diggs run crisp routes and get open in less than 2.5 seconds. Now defense cant double team on two wrs.
cinci and tex to fight it out to meet kc in champ game
The league tells you a p[layer's worth, and the league has said that most teams are not willing to pay/trade more than a second-round pick for him and some draft picks.
It's a bad move for the Texans. They already have enough talent at WR such that Diggs is not going to get the targets he needs to pacify him. With a decent running back that offense didn't need another WR, let alone one who is guaranteed to bring friction to the team. I'm saying this assuming Tank is coming back 100%.
He never bitched when Cousins threw it to Thielen and this is the NFL, WR's go down every year, which is also why Diggs is valuable as hell. He's literally always on the field. I'd say it hurts Collins as an alpha player he was materializing into last year, but who better than a pro bowler than to learn some new tricks from to get better. This trade was a bank heist by The Texans when you consider Stroud's continued success and consistency given how young Dell and Collins still are and what I already mentioned.
Don't assume Bills #1 pick will be a WR.
It's pretty obvious.
Not by the time they pick.@@itskyyuuuu
It will be.
It depends on how the board falls. Lots of talented WRs in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.
@joshuaphilbert7995 if they don't trade up a few spots for Thomas Jr then I expect them to double dip at receiver in this draft and get 2 guys
The irony here is, Buffalo will probably finish with more wins and go further in the playoffs than Houston, lol…
The bills just put themselves in total offensive rebuild for the next 4 years and gave they're spot in the afc to Houston too...texans should remain in deep playoff contention with the ravens and chiefs for a while..bills gm is questionable
No (bugs bunny gif)
I'm shocked BUF got a 2nd rounder for this guy. He's locker room poison and has never been happy no matter what contract you give him or how many targets he gets. I wouldn't want him anywhere near a young developing QB. Give me Keenan Allen who is a locker room glue guy for a 4th rounder all day if I'm HOU. Even if they would have had to give up a 3rd rounder HOU would have been better off with Allen given what they already have at receiver. Count down to the first game Collins, or Dell, or Schultz gets more targets and Diggs is pouting and tweeting at the end of the bench: three, two, ....
Diggs is the offense Jalen Ramsey
The Bills have realized they’re playing a psychological game with Josh Allen. If they can “perfect his environment”, he’s the best player to ever live
They’re gonna put every resource into trying to figure out the best way to keep his mind right. This one seemed like an easy Step 1
Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes seem like good buddies. Maybe they should start playing wide receiver for each other. Maybe recruit Justin Herbert. They are now the 3 best QBs with no weapons. Yikes.
Please don’t put 3 times super bowl champion Patrick with those bums
Trade is a win for both teams. For all u saying the bills got fleeced. There’s a reason Beane is a paid GM, and were all making comments on youtube
well all they did was draft keon coleman lol
Tua has no excuses now! 😂
Miami & the Jets aren’t winning the division, lmao
lets see how long it will take for S .Diggs to bigining to cry again because he is not receiving a thousnd targets per game
Nick Caserio took the Bills to the cleaners 😆😆
Buf can lose to kc in the playoffs with or without diggs
Buffalo in a rebuild, two or three years before they can retool and actually compete in the AFC.
Yeah right. Vegas has them at 10.5 wins. I think they know what they are talking about
Damn wish my saints could of snagged him diggs and olave would of been great but congratulations Texans this probably the piece that put y’all in Super Bowl ..Stroud will definitely be in MVP race
Davis was a none factor the entire season. Diggs was the 3rd option last 8 games. Shakir was the number 1 followed by Kincaid. Samuel is an upgrade over Davis so is Hollins. Bills need one more guy for sure but if they didn’t dump Diggs now they probably get nothing for him next year. They would’ve just cut him. Bills have been dumping old talent to open a lot of cap space for 2025. Bills will be fine…….take Allen to win mvp and thank me later.
The Texans are out here playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers this free agency.
The only strange move they’ve done was that second round trade with the Vikings, and now we see why they did it.
How is this team not considered an AFC championship favorite? It’s hard to put them over the Chiefs, just because of the history of of the Chiefs, but boy, they must be nipping at their heels in Vegas.
Also, this trade was so one-sided, I could see the potential of it being veto’ed by the other owners. Like, my god Buffalo…wtf was that?
Is this sarcasm? I hope so haha!
Buffalo Odell Beckham Jr.
If you’re the Patriots, would Bills entertain a top 3 Pick for Josh Allen or a Top five pick from the Patriots for Josh Allen?
careful with the drug use
No. That's literally the dumbest suggestion ever.
If you understand football at all you would see what the plan is in Buffalo. Get younger, more dynamic and free up salary cap space for the future. They are not tanking by any means
@@wd6358 I know it’s a dump for next free agency and you take a bit of the pain this season, but that we shall see the results when they make their moves
This is enough ammo for the Bills to move up in the 1st to get Brian Thomas or AD Mitchell
Stefon Diggs is a diva... he will mess up Stroud with his demands and poison the WR room. Good luck Texans!
He has no state income tax, great qb, head coach, and offense plus his brother is 3hrs away
Crazy thing is go look at Diggs first 8-10 weeks of the season he was ballin then they just stop passing it to him that narrative is crazy they didn’t even include him in the offense I dam near watch all there games he wasn’t included in the game plan after they fire there OC
Should have went to Steelers. 😞
Diggs has been relegated to a 31 yr old slot receiver at this point. He's washed. Only 290 yds and ZERO tds in his last 6 playoff games 😂
Jes far from washed, he wasn't happy and they weren't using him as a result he's got two good years left history don't lie
keep telling yourself that. Would be shocked if he didn't have 100+ receptions, 1,000+ yards next year. Is that washed? LOL
@davidcook7847 That's the year after I think you are missing the context of the origination its whole new ball park only need one good year then he can still be good not great as a #2 still a dub for Houston cause they already got guys
Even if he was to shrink in the playoffs he next to Nico tank Schultz and now mixon he ain’t got to be a world beater
@@bizzyboomin9277 100 these casuals aren't thinking about context
Diggs will be the first player ever to take a team to the Super Bowl averaging 50yrds a game. Check it out. Houston will not make it within a 1000 miles of the Super Bowl.
Diggs been done
lol y'all forgot this was JC Jackson with the Chargers
Tee Higgins to the Bills
After 2 years of playing on the tag? Maybe.
Everyone in the NFL saw last years playoff but the commentators. Diggs isnt guaranteed to be a starter in Houston they have leverage
WHAT?! Are they stupid? Who does Allen have now?
Who did Allen have in the last 8 games of 2023? Not Diggs. That dude was invisible.
Bills window was never open. That shit is shut forever
I’d say it was open just couldn’t get over KC the last 3 times
Texans ain't shit
the bald guy seems mad again. the bills must be better off without him
