Breaking: Diggs traded to Texans

[Pape]

Does this put Buffalo firmly in the camp of trying to trade up for a WR?

 

[Bill Lee]

Plus this looks to be Buffalo's retool year. They still have Josh Allen, the same OL, and a lot of the same Defense so they'll still be competitive, but are taking huge hits in 2024 to have a LOT of cap room starting in 2025. I'm guessing their goal is get rid of the old/expensive, and reload up younger and faster in 2025 for the 2nd half of Allen's career.

I don't think it's one retool year for them. They really don't have a lot of team depth, and now after clearing out the WRs they have to hit on some new weapons too. Of course having a top-10 QB is a huge advantage and they have been pretty good at drafting, but they will have two years of hangovers for Diggs and they also have a lot of older players with big cap numbers on top of Allen's huge number in 2025:



This chart probably isn't updated for today's trade but if anything Diggs's number goes up due to acceleration.

he's never been more than a midlin receiver, regardless...

Until now.

KC has been making BB type moves while others are napping. Landing that Punter was brilliant.

The point is that NE hasn't made it happen at offensive skill positions. They've failed, at least so far.

Having great weapons doesn't help if you have a crap OL.

Adding an older/slower Diggs is just the wrong kind of move for this team right now, IMO.

I agree we just haven't hit on offensive skill positions, but IMO the need is QB and OL first then the weapons later.

BB type moves? eh... A randy moss signing this is not...

as for the punter, who knows... two years out of football? do punters "rust"?

and really, if the chiefs are relying on a punter, with mahomie in the fold, they are going backwards

Jets might win the division with AR, improved offense and their defense

They don't need a Randy Moss.

The point about the punter is that they get him on the cheap allowing cap money to spent elsewhere. Also, does anyone actually believe that KC didn't try him out and just signed him sight unseen?

KC is making the moves that BB used to make while the Pats are reinventing the wheel.

Dolphins should be the odds on favorites now...

Casserio might wind up his 3rd best lol

True, he’s doing a really good job. But people forget about Jason Licht, Tampa Bay, and he’s got a ring as a GM.

The fish lost the best defensive player, as well an important OL.

you are talking about a receiver who was on par with demario douglas last year... and a punter who has yet to play a down in the nfl...

yeah i get that... but the jete? they kept saleh, an ineffective clusterhump of a coach...

and my early, based on nothing prediction? rodgers isn't going to last the season...

Jets win the Division and/or the Super Bowl this time of year, every year.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

With a good draft we can address 2 of these issues, but addressing all 3 probably isn’t a realistic expectation.

Agreed. Unless we trade down, but then the risk goes up. It is all very well understood, and the biggest issue is chosing the right QB.

I can see that easily happening too
But I think if and it's a big IF Rodgers is 75-80 percent of his usual self the Jete have a realistic shot.

They won another Off-Season Championship!

Mike Lombardi refers to them as the New York Ifs. They'll be good if Ahole Rodgers can stay healthy. They'll be good if Ahole goes out and if Tyrod can stay healthy and elevate his game. They'll be good if Tyron Smith can stay healthy and protect whatever bum they put in at QB. They'll be good if Mike Williams can stay healthy and get some quickness back in his legs. And so on.

Damn this might actually close Buffalo's window

Just shows how the whole “BUF will dominate for years” was foolish. The truth is : not every new shiny thing will become Brady. Many many many things factor into long term winning, which is why it was so astonishing when it lasted twenty years in NE.

They might still be the top AFCE team, but I am not placing money on that wager…

I don’t know they took some hits, their defense worries and offense line took hits
