The Indianapolis Foals have made it clear they anticipate utilizing the 2024 offseason to add more dangerousness to the hostile side of the ball.
There are numerous ways of doing as such, and the reasonable situation includes the Yearlings adding ability through the mid-level of free organization and all through the 2024 NFL draft. Nonetheless, the tomfoolery part about the offseason is the numerous ideas made about how groups can move along.
Cheap seat Report’s Alex Kay had an exchange proposition for the Foals that elaborate delivery their first-round pick in return for Bison Bills star wide collector Stefon Diggs.
Indianapolis Foals get: WR Stefon Diggs
Bison Bills get: 2024 first-rounder (No. 15 generally speaking) and 2024 fourth-rounder (No. 149 generally speaking)
With Michael Pittman Jr. hitting free office and due for a significant agreement expansion, the Foals might need to have an alternate course of action set up through a Diggs exchange case their occupant No. 1 recipient strolls.
Regardless of whether Pittman stays in Indy, matching him with Diggs would significantly hoist a passing assault that found the middle value of simply 215.6 yards per game and scored just 18 scores through the air in 2023.
Third-round wideout Josh Downs streaked some potential — counting 68 gatherings for 771 yards and two scores in his new kid on the block season — while 2022 second-rounder Alec Puncture had one more common mission and hasn’t satisfied his charging. No different Yearlings wideout had in excess of 11 gets or 82 getting yards last season.
Diggs would be a significant overhaul for this gathering and ought to be feasible for however long Indy’s metal will leave behind a first-rounder and possibly throw in an early Day 3 pick to add to the arrangement. He’s falling off his 6th sequential 1,000-yard season and has made four-straight Ace Dishes, making it clear that things are not pulling back in spite of being on some unacceptable side of 30.
With quarterback Anthony Richardson set to return, this all-in move for Diggs could be definitely justified. On the off chance that everything goes to design, the exchange would lift a unit that barely missed the end of the season games up to real fighting status.
Obviously, a ton would need to occur for this arrangement to be finished. However, that is what the offseason is for.
Pittman ought normal to return either with another agreement or on the establishment tag. Matching him with Diggs on the opposite side would be deadly in Shane Steichen’s offense regardless of whether Diggs is inclined to a periodic sideline explosion.
Persuading Chris Ballard to head out in different directions from a first-round pick is sufficiently troublesome. The agreement Diggs right now has is one more disputed matter. Diggs actually has three years left on his ongoing arrangement with compensation cap hits of $27.4, $28.5 and $22.5 million over the course of the following three years, separately.
Those numbers aren’t awful, however they surely are among the association’s most elevated at the wide recipient position. However, having a quarterback on a tenderfoot agreement gives the group considerably more adaptability in these cases.
An arrangement like this is probably not going to occur. The Yearlings presumably really like to keep the No. 15 in general pick for the opportunity to get a playmaker on their side of the ball.
In any case, the possibility of Diggs and Pittman arranging as the 1-2 punch for Richardson is as yet a great thought in a vacuum.
