Diggs is much more then the cherry on top. He’s the whole pie.

Beasley has definitely come into his own though and is a very good wide out and dominates those under routes.

I know you have to manage cap, but as long as Allen is your quarterback, you need to find a way to keep Stefon Diggs here until he no longer can or wants to play football anymore. He may not be the #1 in the later years, but you need to keep him around like the Cardinals do with Larry Fitzgerald.

Wonder what they can offer Dabol to stay 2 more year?

Gotta think he's gonna get some interest around the league

I don't know what else they could do to keep him to be honest. The gave Frazier assistant head coach. I don't think they could do 2 assistant head coach positions

Diggs is no Fitz
And it’s pretty rare for WRs to be effective that far into their careers
So why exactly to we need to keep him around forever?

Assistant to the assistant head head coach?

Just pay him low end head coach $, if an undesirable job (jets) comes up.

Realistically dabol would take any job, especially with trevor Lawrence.

I could see Denver hire him. They cant seem to win with out a running game? Imagine Denver winning by throwing 😉

Ugh he is an AFC East guy...I don't want him going to the Jets with Lawrence

He might just want stability plus as it's mentioned several times he grew up in Buffalo, maybe this is his forever job? (wishful thinking)

Yeah, 10 games doesnt make me sign diggs to a lifetime deal. Fitz , is a hall of Famer, on and off the field.

A legend, not a guy that played his way out of Minnesota 5 months ago.

Really simple -

Frame him for something, making sure he isnt considered for a HC job, then keep him as OC and say we believe in second chances

Do we really think McDermott is our forever head coach?
What about moving him up into management?

I know your just being sarcastic but in all seriousness I can’t see them firing Fangio at this point in time.

Players like him and we are competing this year even though we are not getting the results.

Defence is still a top 5 unit in the league down 7 starters.

Offence is the youngest in the NFL. I don’t think it’s Fangio’s fault he’s been dealt Drew Lock that’s more on Mr. Elway.

Obviously i like Diggs a lot
But he’s got a LONG way to go before we’d even consider giving him the Fitz treatment

Very quick flight
Eagles might be looking for a new coach too if he wants to stay in the northeast

He could "frame" himself when he attempts to throw the ball "when football matters " . And we all know , you need to just run the ball and play defense in the playoffs.

Maybe dabol brings in an average qb in the meantime.
Really hit the formula for winning......

But stuck with wentz and his terrible contract

Maybe the giant's. Danny dimes would be intriguing?

Been thinking more about how this is a good point.

Diggs elite route running/hands and footwork will age pretty well.

He can be that security blanket into his mid-30's

Forever Diggs

Judge has been doing a good job with them
I think he’s safe for at least 1 more year

I like this post, as diggs is awesome.

Couple issues:
Attitude when not winning or thrown the ball

Salary cap. Paying allen and diggs.

Most importantly:

Teams can only win by running the football, when the "real season " starts. Basically what diggs has done this year doesn't count. So why extend him?
