Matty with the breaking news! Love this. I wonder who is gone? McCaffrey?

Gotta keep Lane to return punts.

[WCommandersfan99]

As good as he's been, I actually think he's underrated. Highly productive every season with 7 1,000 yard seasons. Fiery guy who wants the ball. No better wr could have signed or likely even drafted.

Love this move! I think we’ll keep 6 WR’s.

Terry, Diggs, Williams, Lane, Brown, Luke. I’m guessing Burks, Jefferson, and Luke battle it out for the last spot.

[Brummie Brave]

Love it! Wouldn't be surprised if we keep 7 with Lane predominantly ST's. As of now Jefferson maybe looks most likely to be cut. Plenty of camp left though.

Don't love the move -- Diggs could negatively affect the locker room culture. He's productive, for sure, but at 32 he's going to have a drop off sooner or later, and the Pats aren't exactly flush with WR talent after AJ Brown and saw fit to let him walk. By all accounts, the WRs in camp have all looked pretty strong, even if they're not established like Diggs.

What I am looking forward to seeing are the Aiyuk Instagram posts in light of this news. That is going to be a "getcha popcorn" spectacle.

Idk the article says he was credited with being a team leader in New England. I forgot about Aiyuk. He must be losing his mind. Lol.

They also signed Doubs and have Boutte. Maybe it was a money thing? Or maybe they thought there was going to be fire because there was smoke.

Signing him is worth the risk. The production is too good and the need too great. Jayden is still on a rookie contract and needs dudes. Diggs is a dude and it's only a 1 year contract. Like the move.

I like it. He produced for the Bills last year, that’s all we are asking.

Out long term 2nd wr and Terry’s eventual replacement; will be acquired in 2027.

The Pats you mean. And he's produced every year except his 2024 stint with the Texas (injury). Just hoping he keeps his head together.

This makes a HUGE difference in our playoff aspirations!
First a viable CB in Douglas, now Diggs. Those were my top two concerns other than center.
Not to mention Terry injury insurance, no one else could have done that
Congrats!!!!

I still have major concerns with CB. They can be quelled but right now i see alot of question marks.

Amos and Mikey are pretty young on the outside, but Rasul Douglas out there is minimal drop-off. And our new ex lion feisty slot dude, who actually did well on the outside shutting down a couple of top WRs. So its decent, not even sure Moreau makes the squad, but at least he knows the scheme. All these guys can pick off passes except Amos. We may just keep 4. I actually think Douglas is our best corner at this point in everyone's career, so from that standpoint, I see ur point.
I overall love the Douglas and Diggs signings, they were needed!
