Would be unprecedented given he has 4 years left. I can't remember that ever happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That contract is awesome Yep, particularly since Buffalo won't be on the hook for the remaining bonus proration. From Buffalo's perspective he has a four-year deal with salaries of: 2020 (26): $10.9M 2021 (27): $11.4M 2022 (28): $11.4M 2023 (29): $11.4M With the cap likely to increase drastically in the coming seasons, having him on such a good, cost-controlled deal is awesome. AND because they're not on the hook for the bonus, it's almost riskless if he falls off or has a severe injury in the future as it's essentially effectively a series of options for them.

Still, considering who is Minnesota's head coach, I feel like this is a major win for the Vikings. Bills should have just drafted one in the first, instead of giving up multiple picks. Diggs is probably going to act like a pain until he gets more money as payment for going to Buffalo... and then you they have to live with him. Really think this is a misstep by the Bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Allen was one of the better deep ball throwers the year before I'm pretty sure. It's Josh Allen... Sort of an any given day he can be really good or bad at anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Very good return for Minnesota. Diggs is gonna whine when Allen has 20+ yard TD runs and missing him downfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs is definitely going to pout there unless he gets a "market value" bonus or something. If they wanted a real cost controlled contract they should have just drafted Ruggs or Jefferson in the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember that ever happening He started working on forcing his way out of Minnesota with 5 years left on his contract, so what's a 4 year commitment to him? He has the leverage too; they just shot their shot and paid up in draft picks like he's an elite receiver. He will no doubt demand compensation that matches that.

Not saying it won't happen, but he would likely be better served revisting that conversation in ~2 years, following his age-27 season. The cap will have likely increased at that point and other guys would have set the market. If he got a new-let's call it six year-deal now, then he'd be signed through his age-31 season (FA for 32+), not the best time to hit the open market as a WR. If he waits two years, he would still be getting paid good $$, but could likely demand through age-33 at higher AAV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
