Would the Cowboys do that deal? They'd have a long discussion about it and I have no doubts the Vikings could get a 1st round pick for Diggs.

Would the Vikings do that? No. Why do you trade a productive player you have under contract at $2M and is one of the most well liked presences in the locker room. Sure you can argue that he is going to cost a lot. But you don't just deal away productive players on their rookie contracts. You won't make many friends with agents, free agents, or current players on the team.

Basically, if a player in the NFL is moved its typically for a very specific reason.

It's even simpler than that. Vikings have stacked this roster like it's never been stacked before. They paid a strong armed QB a tub of money to go downfield. The whole team is thinking Super Bowl.

Hey, what a great time to sacrifice some serious weaponry...in the interest....of....the future?

It's not just stupid, it's comically stupid.

One of these guys probably won't be re-signed...I'd trade the guy who typically misses a couple games and is ineffective due to injury for several more...especially staring down a potential contract he is going to be no way worthy of...Diggs won't be the reason we do or don't make a super bowl...not by a long shot...

They would have been out in the divisional round last year if it weren't for him Wink

The bigger thing here is that its easy to overvalue draft picks. You draft players to find the ones like Diggs. Trade Diggs away and there is about a 50% chance you're going to be paying a first round pick more than Diggs' currently and he won't be half as productive.

I guess I'm going on the premise that we won't be able to keep everyone...Brez, prove me wrong...Do I sacrifice Hunter? Nope, upside is tremendous and we are uber thin at DE... Do I sacrifice Barr? The defensive signal caller and the straw that stirs the drink? Nope. Waynes? We were number 2 in pass D, and considering how tight the roads were closed on the other side, no I don't.

We've played more games without Diggs the past few years than any of those guys...always banged up going back to H.S...our O despite the $84 million dollar man is going to focus on Cook and Murray...that's hard wired into Zim' s DNA...throw in McGlinchy, the best G at #30 left...our window stays open far longer without paying crazy money to an always injured WR...

I find it funny how fans start to down play the value of players when it comes time to re-do their deals... Diggs is a very good WR and he is 24 years old. I doubt we've seen his peak yet. I think it would be foolish to trade him or let him walk. I would trade Barr before Diggs if we're worried about fitting some of these upcoming free agents under the cap. I think it would be easier to replace his role in the defense than finding another WR of Diggs caliber in the draft.
some, with a better understanding of our scheme than I, say that Barr is the key piece to what Zimmer is doing with this defense, I would hardly say that Diggs is that critical to what the O is doing. not arguing, just saying that Barrs athleticism and real contributions on D might be misunderstood.

I cant wait to see Barr with a 3t who might actually be the best there since KW. Fingers Crossed.

Some tough choices if they have to make them. I was a little surprised they only signed Richardson to a one year deal when a 3T like him is such a rare bird.

My problem with dropping Diggs because he is oft injured is that he is in a skill position with the thinnest depth. He might be the toughest to replace and hurt them the most if he leaves.
