Both the Buffalo Bills and the Green Bay Packers have a 1-1 record so far this season. The Packers defeated the Chicago Bears before faltering against the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth quarter. The Bills had a convincing victory over the Las Vegas Raiders after a heartbreaking loss to the New York Jets.
This year’s trade deadline will be an exciting one to follow for the Bills. I believe that is especially true if the Bills do not find themselves among the top teams in the AFC by the halfway point of the season.
One of their superstars’ futures with the team have been the subject of a lot of rumors.
The two sides’ true selves might come out during the trade deadline.
At the NFL Trade Deadline, the Green Bay Packers are expected to acquire Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs.
Sportsnaut’s Vincent Frank provided the following examples of how the transaction might play out.
Diggs and his Bills team’s ongoing drama recently took on new significance after a beat writer insulted the Pro Bowler.
The receiver responded by telling his brother, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, in an open manner that he should make a trade request.
Even though Diggs himself claimed he did not want to leave before the first week, things have undoubtedly reached a boiling point.
If things get out of hand, we could easily see a trade request. If that were the case, interest in a receiver who has averaged 113 receptions for almost 1,400 yards over the past three seasons would not be diminished.
Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, and Chicago are possible recipients of Stefon Diggs in a trade.
The Packers will have access to a total of 11 draft picks in 2024.
The team might be able to add a seasoned pass catcher like Diggs if they plan to compete for the NFC North around the trade deadline.
The Bills might receive something from the Packers that is comparable to what the Indianapolis Colts would have received from them in exchange for Jonathan Taylor.
Diggs still plays one of the most important positions in the NFL despite his advanced age. Taylor is young and talented, but the Packers would have to give him a sizable salary in the running back-unfriendly NFL.
In a season where they have a sizable “youth movement,” it would be rather shocking to see the Packers trade away draft capital for a 29-year-old wide receiver (who will turn 30 in November).
“However, any team that believes they are a contender may have to take into account adding another elite wide receiver for the right price.
