Blogging the Boys: Diggs or Bland Cowboys will have to choose

[kskboys]

Trade anyone with value. By the time this thing gets rebuilt, their career will be mostly gone. Clean the slate and be about that business.

Oh wait, we don't have a functioning GM motivated to build a championship roster. Nevermind, sign everyone to record contracts!!

We could be well on the way to super bowl contention, instead we have an overpaid QB/WR/CB and an aging/retiring roster.

Jerry is way too dumb to rebuild. Hades, he's too dumb to even know when a rebuild is needed!!!!

There's about 1 person who hates my guts but likes to send sweet nothings to my inbox!!!!! It's all good, but if you're going to do that, don't have people thinking you hate me, then it's something else behind closed doors

You saucy flirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bland

Diggs physical health is in question. He will probably never be the same player. Can't pay him top corner money.

He may not play in 2025. I think Dallas should make him a June 1st cut in 2026.

Agreed.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Both.
There is no reason they need to choose one over the other.

I would agree. Unless Digg’s injury turns out to be extremely severe and he cannot recover reasonably well from it, there’s no reason to get rid of him.

He’s a good player when he’s on the field.

Bland IMO.

Last season Dallas obviously did nothing in FA. However, they design the big contracts to their "core" to be restructured as need be. Last year his base was 11mil and they never touched it.
Rumors they didn't like his approach to rehab.
Going to miss a part of next season more than likely.
This season his base is guaranteed for injury, so it's fully guaranteed at this point. But starting in 2026 he has zero guaranteed money left.
Dallas can save 11.25mil as a March 1st cut next offseason. So, if he doesn't bounce back or annoys the front office with his rehab this time I think they move on.

Bland had a great season 2 years ago. Was injured this past year and while he came back and played well the turnovers weren't there. I think they'll look to re-sign him if he takes a team favorable deal like Diggs in regards to guaranteed money/signing bonus.

Bland by a long shot.

 

[RonWashington]

Diggs was a big mistake and Bland will be the next mistake.

6 pick sixes in one year a mistake .

 

[ChuckA1]

My opinion is they should keep Bland. I've really liked this player since day one.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

The problem is Diggs has no trade value or has poor value. Meanwhile, Bland is still on his rookie deal and a trade we removed from All Pro. It’s smarter to get rid of Bland if you need rid of one.

People just talk out of their *** and say anything….injust don’t get these people but I blame Jerry.

6 pick sixes in one year makes me think he has a future .

The one year of production gives pause. Keeping Diggs makes paying Bland prohibitive.

 

[visionary]

Neither
Diggs is not worth his contract and Bland wont be
Let them walk
Sign Lewis early
Sign a vet zone CB

Spend FA and draft capital on front 7 and safety

Bland.

Cut Diggs asap.

 

[TasteMyScythe]

Bland. Hands down. He’s younger and better physically now which matters a ton. Diggs having two knee surgeries in two years makes him a risk not worth what he’s being paid.

Nothing against Travon but you can’t hang on to a player for sentimental reasons if you want to compete for a championship.

Hey Bob, do you think Diggs has any trade value? He's still relatively young and has produced at a high level. Are teams willing to take a chance on him recovering from injury and finding his form again? Is he worth a 4th/5th round pick?

 

[SquidwardTentacles]

I don't think offenses are intimidated by either.
Neither is a shut down corner.

 

[Adreme]

6 pick sixes in one year makes me think he has a future .

And you could have said the same thing about Diggs getting double digit INTs.

At this point after two knee surgeries in two years I don’t think Diggs has much trade value.

A trade would require the receiving team to accept the remaining years on his contract which would likely scare teams away. Plus if we were shopping him now teams would know we are not wanting to take that risk either.

Sadly I think at this point the best thing to do for the team would be make him a designated June 1 release. It would give him a chance to get on with someone else at a price they would agree to. this season his contract has an out. We would save some cap space. He’s no longer worth a top tier contract IMO.

Btw, I don’t think the Jones FO will do this…but they should.

So Bland is the young aggressive ball hawk corner you want to flush ?
