Stefon Diggs visiting Patriots

[XLIX]

I don't understand all the ridicule behind a negotiation starting point of $25 million. That number is not as high as it used to be.

 

[pmb116]

In my own opinion, that's just too much considering he's going to be limited (historically, outside of Adrian Peterson) this first year off the ACL.

Welker had a pretty good season after tearing his ACL and MCL in week 17.
Gronk in 2014
Jamal Charles in 2012
Jeremy Maclin in 2014
Jerry Rice in 1998 - Actually came back the same season which is bonkers

I can't speak to anyone else's ridicule of the $25M number but I can tell you mine comes from there not being any legit source for the number. The only place we've seen it reported was some made up BS in a ridiculous online 'report' from some douche that falsely claimed the number was reported by ESPN. It wasn't. The same putz (ahem) reported Diggs playing for Buffalo last year and didn't mention his knee surgery in assuring he 'hasn't lost a step'

There's nothing to say Diggs' contract may not land right on that number for all we know but NO ONE in a position to know has said a damn word. It's all ********... for now. And that ******** is what I've ridiculed.
YMMV

Baker, Polk and talented should never be in the same sentence.

You banking on Baker and Polk making some miraculous jump in levels is very unrealistic and unfair to Drake Maye.

Pats front office should be held accountable for once again egregiously missing in the draft, cut their losses, and restart and WR. Grab Drake Maye a REAL wide receiver.

Tommy?, that deaf, dumb and blind kid?

Clever

I know who told me. I'm just not going to tell you and everyone, because Curran can do his own legwork.

So are we talking a grilledcheesesandwich level of credibility or is it more toward a dakotainbraintree thing where we can take it to the bank?

Hopeful Patriots fans as Ace, Realty as Mr Finkel.

OK yeah... ridiculing the undetermined accuracy of the report is something I can understand..... I agree it doesn't seem to have what we might call a solid foundation from reputable journalists....

 

[dliverey44]

Diggs would make those Stiffs we have a WR Better!!

I think Hollins does that as well, he is being slept on as a vet influence

 

[dliverey44]

Josh's Offense wasn't kind to Rookie WR's Twin.

Not super friendly to vets either

I think Wolf may have caught wind that Sanders to CLE, Hunter to NYG is happening... hence the recent Diggs visit.

Browns fans are convinced they're taking Sanders at 2.. even if they don't like it they're calling it a no brainer that they need a QB on a cheap contract. CLE are kicking the tires on an Aiyuk trade now too to further back this up.

NYG aren't taking Abdul Carter... they're taking Hunter at 3 if both QB's are gone, then moving back up for Dart/Milroe somewhere.

How many of them were over 30?

Carter over Tet.
As long as I end up with Carter Hunter or multiple picks we should have a good draft.

Solid list (though Rice’s was in 1997 but still impressive, especially considering he was 35 years old at the time). Edit - actually technically you’re right, he came back for the final game in 1997, even scored a TD but I think he injured his knee in the process. Came back in 1998 and had a strong Pro Bowl season.

Let’s also not forget Adrian Peterson in 2012 which was probably the greatest recovery from an ACL we’ve ever seen.

You have an overactive imagination to think Eliot is anywhere near that brilliant, or that what you wrote even makes sense in the first place.

Which part are you struggling with out of interest?

Cleveland are surely taking Sanders. They aren't starting Kenny Pickett and they need a rookie QB contract while they wait for Watson to be off their cap.

NYG will therefore take Hunter... and a QB later in the draft as they aren't taking Dart at 3. Winston isn't their long term answer. Sure this pick could be Carter, but they're pretty set at edge and Travis Hunter at CB/WR alongside Nabers would sell tickets.

1 Ward
2 Sanders
3 Hunter
4 Carter

None of it has anything to do with what Wolf said.

I dont think sanders goes 2. I expect he will be close to round 2 than pick 2.

 

[Huckleberry1]

I’m terrified to draft a WR aside from Hunter at 4.
Any chance Dolphins take 4 for Jaylen Waddle?
At this point as crazy as that sounds might be our safest option.
Or 4 to Detroit for Jameson Williams?
Or Second to Cleveland Jerry Jeudy.

Batshit crazy.
