Good for him but does Prima Donna Diggs get his shorts in a knot over this?

He is already skipping OTA's
This stage of OTA's is voluntary and a vet like Diggs doesn't need to attend them.

I know they are voluntary.

My point is he is on a new team with a new offense looking to make a fresh start and T think this just shows his total lack of awareness.

A guy trying to be a good teammate and vet leader would be there getting to know all the players.

The NFLPA is probably about to get rid of OTA's. They're almost useless. Players show up and leave when they want. There's no contact or 1 on 1 drills allowed. They're basically there just socializing on the clock.

The guy has been in the league a long time. These guys build rapport outside of the football field on their own time. Him missing the meaningless OTA's isn't jeopardizing him or the team in any kind of way. Plenty of vets have skipped OTA's such as newly signed Baker Mayfield, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Lamar Jackson, Cee Dee Lamb, Micah Parsons, and even Travis Kelce missed a couple of days.

Well I like the Bills approach..everyone showed up.

With a new offence and defense to install it is almost essential.

Yes a new D...young Bobby Babich was promoted from LB coach to DC.

This is also Joe Brady`s first off season as OC

Dolphins sign Waddle to 3 year 84mil deal. 72mil guaranteed. Doesn’t take affect until 2026. Waddle is a dolphin through the 2028 season.

The Penguin gets his deal done but Aquaman has to wait

Rumor has it T Hill is looking for more money and more years with his contract basically expiring after this year with no guaranteed money after 2024

I think this says a lot without saying the obvious...Dalton Kincaid Bills TE on the Bills WR room.

“Obviously the room looks a lot different this year,” the tight end said when asked about the offense and addressing the obvious — that the Bills did an (almost) complete overhaul of the wide receiver room. “Just a lot of selfless guys. I feel like that transition has gone really well.”

Fair warning - When we start the weekly 7 vs 17 comparisons, using quality of receivers as an excuse is now off the table

I predict career highs in yards TD's and completion percentage for JA17

There will be no excuses from me

None will be required

Yeah. Not happening. Josh was mediocre before Diggs got there. I expect lower numbers than last year without a reliable guy to pepper targets to. Allen loves to force passes through tight coverage.

Josh's game was already improving before Diggs arrived. He went from a rating of 67.9 as a rookie to 85.3 in year 2 (the year before Diggs). His completion percentage went from 52.8 to 58.8. TD/INT from 10/12 to 20/9.

But you also need to remember that in year 1 his top receivers were Zay Jones and Kelvin Benjamin. Then in year 2 they added John Brown and Cole Beasley (with a rookie Dawson Knox). So, when Diggs got there in year 3 they Josh was already trending upwards, and in addition to Diggs they added Gabe Davis to Beasley and Brown. So yes, Diggs was a key addition and the #1 option, but Josh had a lot of other weapons that year.

As for this year, I have no worries with Kincaid, Coleman, Shakir, Knox, Samuel and Cook as Josh's targets.

All True

BTW to everyone who thought the Bills should have took JJ at 22 instead of trading the pick for Diggs....he wouldn't be a Bill right now either

Now you can see why they let KC walk....you either pay him or JJ.

SF and the Bengal's are now between a rock and a hard place.


I think I would rather have a no name WR room
