Stefon Diggs is not attending Bills OTAs.
Bills fans will be quick to point out OTAs are voluntary. But after Diggs was seen dressing down Josh Allen during Buffalo's playoff loss to the Bengals and was a no-show at the team's offseason program in April, there should be some concern about Diggs' standing with the team. Allen in April said he wasn't worried about Diggs' 2023 availability. The Bills' mandatory minicamp starts next month.

Sucks, but I will worry about it more next month.

I'm not full scorched earth like you are on him, but I definitely see your point. I started noticing he was acting like a Richard when they lost to KC in the playoffs. He was butt hurt that Davis was having a game for the ages. Check out the way he throws the ball at Allen after catching the 2 pt conversion. What an bumhole.

who's handing out which of these contracts for Buffalo. Pick a forward and a defenseman. Try not to pick Severson.

Did you see the mock draft from the Athletic. Could make it interesting and tougher than we thought adding a Top D

Goalie, Hill 2x$3.3
RD, Dumba 3x$4.4
C, Kampf 2x$1.8m

That was easy.

This time right know is more for the Rookies UDFA and draft picks to get acclimated with the coaches. Would be nice if Diggs was there, a few new faces in the room. But next month is when the meat and potatoes start. See what Diggs does then.

I did. I'm not really that interested in 'reaching' for defensemen. With one, maybe two even acceptable to be drafted at 13, I'm not going to lose sleep over drafting a forward like Matt Wood, Gabe Perrault or Zach Benson. However, if there's not any serious forward talent dropping to 39 or 45, I would vote on them taking two defensemen, preferably outside the NCAA with those picks.

They need to see their organizational depth, I think they'd like to get a center at 13 like Nate Danielson or Charlie Stramel in the 2nd round, but other than that, they, and I hope, need to see how underwhelming our defensive pool is.

Finding a top 4 in UFA and trade is not that hard. Samuelsson, Dahlin and Power are here for a very long time. Which is why you want cost control for the 4-8 defensemen. Perfect guys to find in the 2nd-4th round that you can let sit around and grow for 2-4 years. Kamarov, Novikov and Lindgren are nice starts but you need like 5 more guys in there.

Nate Danielson, Maxim Strbak and Theo Lindstein would be an awesome 3 picks

Is Simashev gone in it? He seems to be lining up and is a great fit in terms of value and need.

Finding a good top 4 D is not hard ?, and some of those UFA's are lining up for a big payday. Sabres need more than 4th or 5th rnd picks in there D system

no, i do not think it is hard to find a mid pair defenseman.

Just in UFA alone.

Severson, Gudas, Orlov, Graves, Gavrikov, Dumba, Gostisbehere. Trade targets probably 10-12 guys.

Trade board: Karlsson, Petry, Provorov, Parayko, Girard, Grzelcyk, Addison, one of the Kings D and probably more we're less familiar with. Maybe Tampa, Vegas, Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver would like to part with a guy to free up cap space.

That's cool, seems to me we say that every year and seem to never land one. And you need someone that can be more than a mid pair, especially with Samuelsson and hopefully won't be occurring injury issues.

Didn't you say you wanted cost control on this guy?
