re: Stefon Diggs to the Patriots

I’ve never thought “hell yes” when my team has signed the leftover scraps in free agency
You’ve never experienced 5-7 straight seasons of running out practice squad WRs every year and compounding it with worse and worse draft busts every season then.
As I said before (if you read these things ever), beggars can’t be choosers. The level of excitement is entirely relevant to the current scenario of the pats today on March 26 of 2025 man, not out of excitement of the overall situation the pats are in or have been in the last few seasons. You just read way more into a pretty normal phrase of “hell yeah” ignored all of the text that followed it, and created a different post in your head to argue with :lol:

Well yeah it’s becoming more clear you aren’t reading anything I’m posting and just imagining the argument you’d rather have

zero reason for them to not top Washington’s offer for Tunsil, for instance
Yeah I totally wish they would’ve done that. I’m not sure if tunsil would’ve been interested in coming to NE, but if that option was on the table then I agree we absolutely should have done it
I’m confused what that has to do with them signing Stefan Diggs to what you have already admitted is a pretty middling contract in the market a half month after Tunsil had already been traded.

The deal on its own is fine but Diggs being the biggest difference maker to add as support for a talented young QB with the cap space they had is brutal
Okay so the solution you’re offering instead is to bring in no support for the young QB?
They can’t make teams trade them good WRs and they can’t make good WRs sign there. The options are limited. That’s obviously an issue. I just don’t understand why you think that somehow makes this deal bad in any sort of way. You’re making two separate points and saying they are correlated
quote:
They spent a whole bunch of money on: An interior DL Two guys coming off major injuries who’s best ball is clearly behind them (Landry and Diggs) A swing tackle An okay number two corner who’s never played a full year The window with that kind of cap space closes fast and I think they did a horrible job surrounding Maye with more talent and setting him up for success. Gonna be highly dependent on nailing several draft picks
Again you’re having a completely different conversation but the FA market was awful, and will continue to be awful as teams have money to keep their own players. Every teams success is going to be highly dependent on draft picks. They offered way above market and most of the top guys at the main positions of need (tackle and WR) never hit the market at all.
The window on that level of cap space only closes when you hit on the right picks and have a roster worth betting the farm on veterans and have to resign your core. The pats were never going to be in a position to go all in on the roster in year 2 of Drake Maye. The cuppboard was entirely bare and they whiffed on the draft outside of Maye last year to compound the issue.
A few of you are imagining me post grand delusions of the pats being in the superbowl in this thread, I ask that you reread through my posts and try to find where that actually exists because the most positive thing I’ve posted in here was “Hell yes” and then a bunch of qualifiers after.

They don’t have options now, assuming there isn’t a trade opportunity we are unaware of. There were without a doubt better opportunities they did not land
Yeah I get there are better WRs in the NFL, but the list of ones better than him that are freely available in FA is slim to none and spending draft capital and a fat contract on a different vet for a rebuilding team only makes sense if that guy is a no brainer playmaker and wants to come to NE, which the pat’s swing and whiffed on a few of those options this year. so they signed Diggs in the second wave of FA on a prove it deal to hopefully fill a massive need. There’s no real opportunity loss here.

He is very limited at this stage unless he has some miraculous resurgence. He looked like an okay number 2 pre injury, and it was obvious he was taking a one year deal.

You’re acting like it’s some coup.
Quite literally my first post in this thread says “yes it is an injury risk and yes it is an over pay”. There’s a gulf of room between being excited as a fan for the potential of this signing and thinking it was a Randy Moss level move. I understand it’s a low risk high reward deal. I also understand that if Stefan Diggs was still his prime self, he would’ve have been sitting there in the second wave of Free Agency and wouldn’t have been interested in playing for a rebuilding team.
Pats came in to the offseason with an ungodly amount of cap space, spent more than anyone else, then still has by far the most cap space after those moves with very little current capital on the roster that are long term pieces that they need to plan for future. They needed to give Maye weapons and this is a high upside bet to do so. The money quite literally has to go somewhere.

New England had to get someone but their fans should be incredibly disappointed with this outcome
I truly don’t understand how this makes sense :lol: pats have literally no better options, this is a very cheap deal relative to the market and the pats could’ve burned the money on fire and it wouldn’t have effected their ability to compete or their cap space.
I get I’m more optimistic about this than most in this thread, but why would anyone be disappointed with this outcome in comparison to just doing nothing but running back the same weapons last year?
quote:
He’s not just gonna play out the other two years if he lives up to the price tag this year. It’s a one year deal
That just highlights my point more. It’s very team friendly and can get nuked the moment it goes sideways.

I’m not selling anything to anyone, believe what you want about it, I’m excited for it. Could be wrong. Wouldn’t be the first or last. But there’s not a whole lot of more appealing options out there.

An aging WR who was going downhill while healthy with an MVP qb who is now coming off major knee surgery to play with a young QB while he is an absolute locker room cancer Yeh, you are pumped
I cannot express to you the dogshit the pats have put on the field at that position. Beggars and choosers and all that
quote:
He was rotten fired spoiled over salted ball taint in Buffalo the last year
Got noone to compete with for targets. If he sucks he’ll be cut. Pats have 70-80 mil in space already with the first wave of FA done and the cap will go up without many players worth paying on the roster that sum of cash. The only more talented options would cost more contractually and take a draft pick in a trade.
Top WRs are making 30 - 40 mil a season right now, yall gotta put a 26 mil guarantee over 3 years into some perspective

You are obviously in denial and trying to talk yourself into liking this.
Not really. I’m not saying he’s gonna be Randy moss but it’s a no brainer shot to take to fill a massive need. There’s not many other options out there that have the same upside that don’t cost draft capital

This is a terrible signing for that amount of money.
Who cares about money in that position? They have a stack of it with no one to spend it on. 26 mil GTD over 3 years is nothing if it goes sideways.

Ill eat my words if he has a resurgence.
Outside of the injury, he hasn’t really fallen off from a production standpoint. Reportedly will be ready week 1.

Hell yes
Yes it’s a risk with injuries/ age, yes it’s an over pay, but he’s a pro and pats have nothing but cash to burn and running out of options to have a real NFL WR catching passes next year

Recently cut all mine off except YouTube premium (not YTTV), I think I get max for free from my phone plan, and I have Amazon but that one isn’t too long for this world either. I just don’t consume nearly as much content as I used to anyway and I usually just rent or buy something when I want to see it.
I usually will stream off a site for sports
These platforms completely severing themselves from having unique or consistent viable and long standing series/properties makes it very easy to not feel like anything is really necessary. The best shows are all like 6 episodes and get 2 seasons at most so just wait until you have a month with some free time and pay a 1 time fee to see it all and cancel instead of keeping it around for no real reason. The waves of pop culture move so fast and hard there’s not even a society pressure or pitch to seeing these shows live. Everyone is behind and everything is created to be picked up later

It’s gross that Ticketmaster is allowed to monopolize that industry in a way that allows them to bend you over every time.
The fees themselves are outrageous, I find it especially egregious that they will charge fees per ticket in a combined order.
