Knockin' on Valhalla's Door

I was wrong about Diggs. I thought he was just being his usual self with the cryptic tweets and what not. He really is a headcase.

Let's revisit that trade that sent Diggs from Minnesota to Buffalo...is it still a win-win for both teams, or is there a firm winner here?

but then, from a cost standpoint, JJ is going to be a drain on our cash resources for several years to come, while the Bills will hope to get a replacement at a much lower price.

 

more and more, i'm open to trading JJ, but no one would give us what he's worth.

91 players ran at least 200 routes from Week 8 onward.

Stefon Diggs ranks per @FantasyPtsData:
52nd in YPRR (1.55)
52nd in 1st downs per route run (0.077)

This despite still ranking top 12 in target share. Serious regression on tape + locker room concerns.

Buffalo eating 30m in a win now window to trade one of their best players away, albeit a descending player, is very telling. Likely not the slam dunk for Houston people are thinking.

The other part I was thinking of was that Diggs did play 4 years at Buffalo, which is a pretty common amount of time before a contract expires. They got a full contract's value out of him...kind of.

But then, they gave him an extension and are still paying him a good amount of money I believe.

So, at one time this might have been a win-win but it looks like we ended up winning the trade. 😎

i grew up between Chicago (Bears) and St Louis (Cardinals were there then) so should have been a fan of one of those teams, but chose the Vikings right away.

I grew up in Richmond, VA where most people are die hard Washington fans...same is true where I currently live...60 miles from DC.  My dad grew up in Virginia as a Bears fan because they were rivals of the Redskins in the days of Sammy Baugh and Sid Luckman.  I picked the Vikings in the Joe Kapp era because they beat Chicago and Washington...and they weren't Dallas.  So, some people follow teams just to annoy the majority!!🤣🤣

It's no wonder he was punching people in his 80s.

 

I also know that Fred MacNeil and Matt Blair also died with CTE. Do we know of other Vikings greats who have suffered because of the game?
