I had to Google the GM of the Texans because I had to see who the hell this master cook is. Nick Caserio, was the director of player personal for all 6 of the Patriots super bowls.

Texans are building something down there that has gotten the entire NFL’s attention. It’s almost like the Bills gave up and said “Well frick it, if we cannot beat the Chiefs or Bengals in the playoffs , let’s help turn the up and coming Texans into the juggernaut and let the AFC burn.” Can’t believe I’m saying this, but the Texans are probably up there now with the 49ers and Chiefs as far as odds to win the Super Bowl.

Yep, he did the same thing he did in Minnesota that he did in Buffalo. Get upset over his role and pout. The odds aren't good that he won't do the same thing with the Texans.

He hit the age 30 wall for WRs. He probably has one more Pro Bowl season left in him and after that, good luck.


If he keeps his teenage drama stuff in check, he could have several really good seasons with Stroud.

That said, you mention hitting the age of 30. Amazing that from Age 31 and beyond, Jerry Rice scored another 99 TDs and had four more All-Pro seasons. Set the then NFL record for most receiving yards in a season at the age of 33.

Over 60% of Allen’s ints last season were thrown to Diggs. The guy absolutely did not get separation last year but Allen still foolishly forced the ball up to him as WR 1. Yet, Diggs still bitched and pouted all season

With Diggs as legit option 3, I don’t know how diggs doesn’t melt

It’s mainly people not understanding veteran players draft capital

Deandre didn’t get a 1st round pick for the Texans when he was 27

A 30 year old diggs isn’t going to come close to a 1st round comp

This is one of the best WR classes I can ever remember. Bills grab a rookie WR and this trade frees up massive amounts of cap space post 2024

Texans are loaded at WR already so from their perspective they can just dead weight cut Diggs if he truly just sucks now

Texans Stacked! AFC South fricked!


One day the internet will learn that teams like the Texans who win the free agency championship, NEVER win the Super Bowl

Can anyone give me an example of the last time it’s worked out differently?



“Oh man, they got so and so, and this person, and that person, etc”


The team looks great on paper, but who’s calling plays? Who’s coming up with the defensive scheme? Who’s the QB? Has the team gelled into one cohesive unit?


All of that matters way more than the names on the roster. How have yall not learned this yet?

That’s the exact team that comes to mind when I think about this. They added a ton of names and didn’t do shite from what I recall

If you call winning 11 plus games and the division a rebuild year, sure. The bills went 7-3 when diggs fell off the face of the earth. Thinking losing him turns this season into a rebuilding year is asinine. Losing a top playing WR barely moves the needle, much less one that was playing poorly. The offense exploded under Brady, and that coincided with Diggs dropping off.

And I trust that the GM that has taken the Bills to 6 of 7 playoffs and 4 straight division titles


I will guarantee the Bills will have a top 5 offense in 2024. Would you like to put a wager on it?

Texans were very solid last year, and Stroud played fantastic for a rookie. And Ryan’s seems to be the real deal for coach

They were also a complete choke job drop from not making the playoffs and finishing 9-8

I think getting Diggs making people think they are Super Bowl bound so strange

Wow, taking a home team in a one game scenario, so brave

You said the bills are rebuilding by letting diggs walk. I’m giving you the full season of offensive results , so lots of data and time to work itself out. Do you not think the bulls offense is going to regress?

Diggs bolsters an already good WR corps, losing Tank Dell last year hurt the offense. Do you think we are acting like we just signed Randy Moss or something?
