Can we acquire Stefon Diggs?

That's that I guess. He's not being traded.

His contract is huge though. IDK how i feel about that. After this year his cap hits should be (assuming the Pats need to take on full responsibility with no restructure).

14.5, 15, 15 and 12. So over the next 4 years he would make about 56.5 or 14M per year about. He's on pace to be the 14th highest paid WR in the NFL over that time I think.

For a guy whose only reached 1000 yards once I question how great a deal that is. Personally from a football philosophical POV I'm against getting these #1 B type of WRs.

If you are going to pay for an offensive skill guy you either pay for good players or great players. Not very good players. Why spend 14M for Diggs when 2-3M more gets you a guy like Hopkins or Thomas. I know guys like Hopkins or Thomas are usually not available for that very reason.

I just hate to pay 14M for a guy that the 15 top CBs in the NFL can take away 1v1 for the most part. It kind of defeats the purpose of having them.

If you are going to pay for an offensive skill guy you either pay for good players or great players. Not very good players. Why spend 14M for Diggs when 2-3 gets you a guy like Hopkins or Thomas. I know guys like Hopkins or Thomas are usually not available for that very reason.

You will never get Thomas or Hopkins.

Well, that's not entirely true, the Patriots did have that caliber of receiver for one game this year.

What would it even take to get Diggs? It doesn’t seem like a Belichick move in all honesty. He’s more of a buy-low deal maker. The Vikings would want two arms and a leg.

In related news....Diggs did not practice today, but it wasn't injury related....


Hmmmm...hmm.....

Stevan Dig

This means a trade is already done.

Still feel we will acquire some type of wr. Our wideouts are banged up right now. Not 100 percent.

Calvin Ridley
AJ Green
Stefan Diggs
James Washington
Antonio Callaway?
Chris Conley yes I said it

Ridley - maybe, but not sure why Atlanta would give up on him so soon

Diggs - it looks like he's going to stay a Viking unless the above PFT report is true that they are lying

Washington - Pittsburgh hates us and wouldn't trade Brown here, why would they feel any different?

Callaway - The Browns may trade him here, but it would be to an AFC team. Perhaps if the price is right.

We give Atlanta a offer they cant refuse we get the receiver we should of drafted all along thinking a first and a third they would move him.
We get him on his very workable rookie deal.
I like the idea of dealing for Calloway with a small contract.
We should of had Emanuel Sanders still remember we signed him to a restricted free agent offer it was very low money and Pitt of course matched we could of had him for dimes on the dollar Pitt was in a bad salary cap space and we cheaped out and went nickels on the dollar they reworked a guy and they matched.
The following season we didn't show much interest early on and he signed with the Broncos.
Huge miss by us.

I think there’s a good handful of us that regret the way they handled Sanders’ RFA situation, but that was a long time ago. They’ve since won 3 SBs.

They've still got 11 or 12 picks just for 2020, don't they?

I don't think a trade is happening but this is not an indication at all.

Disgusted that this thread's title was corrected.

So what do they call a huge deal?
I wouldn't part with more than 2 second rounders.
But expect a 5th and 7th back.
