All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

I learned my lesson with Flutie and then Bledsoe, which my now wife got me for Christmas one year and it's an authentic one. Super $$$$
Small potatoes. I got a Bruce jersey cheap in ‘92 when I was in 8th grade. Rolled with that for a long time. Then, it was Bledsoe, Losman for my wife, Spikes 2x cuz I got one signed, and Evans. Gave up on current players after that. I have a cheap Kelly replica and a nice Bruce authentic that my wife gave me. Those are the only ones I’ll wear.
Side note: I randomly found a T shirt with the Bills logo on the front and “Allen 17” on the back on clearance in Baltimore about a month ago. I bought it. I have the curse so he’s probably ****ed.
True, but I don't like looking ahead to 2025 when 2024 hasn't even kicked off.
This really puts us in a bind at WR this season.
We don't have a true #1. Shakir looked great in the slot late last year, but I'm assuming he'll be split wide in a new role and Samuel will take over the slot this year. I imagine our other starting WR will be rookie.
My guess is Kincaid's stock is about to shoot way, way up. Kind of like Kelce after Hill left KC.
If Kincaid can be half of what Kielce is, we will survive this. But that’s a huge “if.”
In hindsight, the Allen pick was brilliant. The rest of the 1st round QB’s from that draft were.busts. But he can’t do it without other weapons on O.
Wow I just heard about this. I find it a shockingly stupid move. Diggs was already signed, he's still our #1, or was smh, and there was little to gain in this move unless I am missing something. There must be more personal wise matters they'll never talk about.

Diggs wants to win. This is because he isn't a yes man. Only people who say "yes Mr. Allen, Yes Sir" are allowed on the team.
The problem the Bills had for the last two seasons on the field was they tolerated Diggs as opposed to listened to him. Now, they are on to bigger and better things.
The Chiefs post Hill era, winning back to back superbowls with younger players with less distractions, must have played a role. You have Allen, and llike Mahomes, any WR comes into Buffalo and winds up having the best version of himelf. Samething with Brady in those years in NE. So maybe that's the model they are going after.
Also Diggs is going to be 31 in Nov. You trade a player a year earlier than a year later. That's the Belichick way.
It does not make the Bills a better team right now at this moment. So was the Chiefs 2 years gao when they traded away Hill.
I also believe Beane secretly wished that he drafted Jefferson instead of trading for Diggs years ago. I agree with someone here said that signing Diggs to the extension is a stupid move --- though it may be forced at the time.
Really disappointing that the trade won't yield cap savings this year.
My expectation was that if we were going to trade Diggs for relatively modest draft capital, you'd expect the Texans to eat his contract too.
The Bills clearly wanted him gone if they'll take only a 2nd and still eat 31mil in dead cap space. I'm curious what was happening behind the scenes.
The Texans do assume his contract with the exception of bonuses which we already paid. The bonuses are what causes all the dead cap. It's a lot of money.
From a compensation perspective, the Chargers got only a 4th rounder for Keenan Allen. One year older, similar production to Diggs.
Shocked...but stepping back and in full view of the other moves we've made this offseason, clearly 2024 is a reset. We didn't win it all with the roster we had. Time to reboot.
I do think that the WR story is not over for this offseason. Zero chance that we go into the season without an addition to the WR room. A high draft pick for sure, but I'd honestly be a little surprised if it's just a draft pick--it would be unlike the Bills to rely on a rookie at a position like #1 WR. Highly doubt that they're satisfied starting the season with Samuel/Hollins/Shakir while a rookie gets going. I'm sure there's a plan in place before making a move like this.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

Any remaining doubts about drafting a WR just evaporated. The only question that remains now is if (when) Beane trades up how high will he go, what will he give up and who is he targeting?
