Bills, Allen To Put Off Talks If No Deal Done By Next Week

‘“We’ll see here soon. We’re in August, so I’d say we’re down to a few weeks to either get this done or delay it, and try it again in 2022,” he said. “Hopefully, we can get something done this year. But if not, we’ll be excited. Josh knows. He and I have had great conversations this spring and summer about it.”’

Bills, Josh Allen agree to table contract talks until 2022 if sides can’t agree on new deal by next week

‘As it relates to Allen, Bills general manager Brandon Beane said on Monday that both sides have agreed to halt contract talks if they have not come to terms on an agreement before Buffalo’s first preseason game. The Bills’ three-game preseason will start with a game at Detroit on Aug. 13. Beane said that he and his quarterback are “in lockstep” as far as negotiations are concerned.’

Austin Bills? NFL Owners Are Running Out of Plausible Ways to Squeeze Taxpayers

‘We’ve known for a while now, of course, that this is a game of who blinks first and we, the taxpayer, seem to have an irreversible tic. NFL owners had forever used the allure of Los Angeles to threaten cities to pony up for new space station-looking arenas before eventually gutting the Chargers and Rams franchises, leaving them in an expensive, empty auditorium to play in front of their nascent fanbases. London, for a brief second, was another way of headlocking certain host cities into squeezing their taxpayers before we all collectively laughed and dared the league to put a team five hours ahead of eastern standard time. San Antonio remains on the short list of extortion tools ownership is eager to use.’

‘It was really impressive from top to bottom. Josh Allen was pinpoint accurate, including connecting on a long pass down the sideline to Cole Beasley, who was actually covered very well by cornerback Dane Jackson. But the ball was dropped right into Beasley’s arms and there was basically nothing Jackson could do, despite being in a good spot.’

Brandon Beane to put deadline on Josh Allen extensions talks

‘”Hopefully we can get something done this year,” Beane said. “Josh [Allen] knows him and I have had great conversations this spring, and summer, about it. He’ll play it out this year even if we can’t get something done. I promised him if we can’t get [an extension] done that we’ll pick it up as soon as we get to next offseason and try again.”‘

Beane sets preseason “deadline” when it comes to contract extension talks with QB Josh Allen

‘”At the end of the day, we’ll probably put a deadline on it at some point here in preseason. I don’t like to carry that stuff into the season,” Beane said during the interview. “Josh knows he and I have had great conversations this spring and summer about it. He’ll play it out this year if we can’t get something done. I promised him if we can’t, then we’ll pick it up next offseason and try again.”‘

Local lawmakers respond to Bills stadium talks

‘“The numbers are not going to be discussed today. They’re unknown at this point because we are just having preliminary conversations,” remarked Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul.’

‘“How we look at it, you know as long as we’re winning, we’re helping the team win, that’s just what it is. If I’m starting, if Breida’s starting, if Zack is starting, it don’t matter, as long as we’re helping each other win, helping the team win that’s what matters at the end of the day,” Singletary said.’

Bills offense ‘constantly evolving’ while building off success in 2020

‘“Obviously we try to tailor everything we do to Josh and Josh has, I’d say a lot of freedom at the line of scrimmage. We call the play, it’s not exactly what we’re trying to get on defense, I think experience helps him with trying to get to the proper play to help put us in a good position,” Daboll explained.’
