No clue where to post some stuff not necessarily team related but could be? Feel free to delete if this belongs somewhere else.



Maxx and Parsons would be nasty. I probably wouldn’t pay the price though.

[Raider Nation]

“IF” he would have been the second QB off the board in the 2026 draft, that tells me there could be a team that would be willing to give up more than a first in next years draft…

[DanKD]

Yes if he had a great season and stayed out of trouble. As it stands with the risk i think round 3 is the most a team will give up and maybe not that. Could be wrong though.

I think we should grab Stephon Diggs.

^^^No thank you...don't need his baggage.

I think we should grab Stephon Diggs.

Why? I don't think even the team is under the illusion that this will be a playoff team in 2026. They patched up the defense but left the OL largely intact which means they are using this season as more of a trial to see what they have with better coaching but clearly they didn't bolster the OL with making the playoffs in mind as they clearly signed Cousins to take the lumps amd spare Mendoza from being shell-shocked in his first year. There's simply verly little upside in bringing in a malcontent player like Diggs (who's on the decline btw) when you are in a rebuilding phase.

You think we should grab a soon to be 33 year old guy who cannot seem to find the endzone?

Agreed...As you, myself, and others have pointed out, we're not going to be a serious threat for the PS this year anyway...so why sign a player who is not going to put us over the hump?...especially a "what about me" type player like Diggs?

I AGREE he is the best remaining wr available, while he is no longer dominant he is still a viable wr1 and can still get open with his route running abilities and shiftiness

yes, i do he would instantly become our wr1 up and down the field plus we have bowers and jeanty,washington for endzone duties

misconception on diggs back to back yrs he has put up good numbers while being a team player...on the field he is just fine, off the field dude is a mess with cardi b and that drama train

steph diggs is still putting up low end wr1 numbers in back to back yrs

[raidersince63]

Even if he could turn back the clock 5+ years, and even if he wasn't somewhat of an "attention whore", and even if he'd agree to play for much less salary than he will want, and even if he was markedly better than what we already have, and even if he was still a solid #1, which he's not...I still would not want him wearing the Silver and Black.

Not at all a misconception...but thanx for accentuating my point.

[mstrbass2000]

dude caught 85 of 102 targets put up over 1000 yds and caught 4 tds last yr, the yr before he was putting up great numbers and emerging as the wr1 in houston before getting injured and missing the rest of the yr

steph diggs is still performing very well

[mstrbass2000]

he clear and free from that mess now...no longer with cardi b and was cleared of all charges too
