Beane says he’s more focused on free agency and the draft before signing Allen to a long term deal

I'm in favor of delaying the extension as long as possible.  

 

This is further evidence that Beane knows what he is doing, which is really welcome change.

 

 

[Warcodered]

Dawkins and White didn't get their extensions until August and September so it's not like he's putting it off or anything FA and the draft were always going to happen first.

[Royale with Cheese]

I see it happening right before the season.

[Doc Brown]

Most of these QB deals get done during the summer right up until the season opener (Mahomes, Goff, Wentz, Watson).  It makes sense after the draft and free agency is wrapped up to see where you are salary cap wise.

Now how is some "genius" going to twist this around to infer that Allen might be traded?

Well, reading the tea leaves and connecting the dots and referencing Mercury in Retrograde, my high level business meetings have left me with many, many high level sources and several of those sources have said that Brandon Beane personally called them to ask what they think he could get in a trade for Josh Allen. 

 

When it's all said and done, the BeaneMan trades Allen to the Jets for a 9th round pick in 2046. 

 

He also cuts every single player that will fetch him a 3rd round compensation, and of course this advice was given to him by several high profile TBD board members who constantly say, "Cut this dude so we get comp picks!" So now Beane has 39 comp picks and a sweet 9th rounder in 2046. This is how you win, gentlemen. 

[K-9]

As he should be.

3,2,1....ya know....

Makes total sense. There is zero rush to sign to Allen at this point. He can’t go anywhere. Personally, I’d love to pay him halfway through the season just to see him do it for a little more since it’s a franchise defining contract.  The entire franchise changes once they have to pay him.

I don't think we need to see anymore and from what Beane was saying on Cris Collinsworth's podcast, I don't think he needs to see anymore either. Since the first Pats game in week 4 of 2019 Josh has 54 Passing TDs vs only 13 INTs(More than a 4 to 1 ratio) and has added another 14 TDs on the ground.

 

Many on here wanted to see the ability to have 300 yard passing games, he had 8 this year(Probably would've had a 9th if he plays the full game against Miami in week 17) including two 400 yard games. Many wanted to see if he could carry the team with a lesser defense, most of the time this year he was our offense, an offense that put up the 2nd most points in the league. He's hard working and now the unquestionable leader of the team. He'll get his contract extension before the season, as he should.

You can say that again what he did with no running game was impressive. I mean most teams can’t go 13.3 be in one dimensional I mean I don’t no if I can think of one. Here’s to getting a running game 

[Dkollidas]

I mean it makes sense. Figure out where you’re gonna be in 2021, with a better outlook on the 2022 salary cap, and go from there. 
 

They’ll obviously extend the 5th yr option for both Allen, and Edmunds as well, but they need to see where the dust settles a bit before putting that much money out. 

[ColoradoBills]

All in line with the NFL dates and timing.

The 1st thing that will happen is the Bills will exercise Josh Allen's 5th year option.

Last year the Chiefs and Texans didn't do that until end of April which is well past the initial FA period.

Mahomes and Watson had no problem with the timing and neither will Josh!

Roy, I was thinking the same thing, wait for fit, wait for it. BIG BANG reference.

 

What is he supposed to say?  He knows he needs to get the FA and Draft done, see what shakes out, see the cap, get UDFA’s done as this is playoff time now.  It’s one of the many reasons you see a lot of these contracts get hammered out in the summer.  IDK if he gets extended now or later nor does anyone else.  He’s inevitable.  (a little Thanos reference there).

 

They also have at least one network new contract of the many that may happen in the next four months.  More info. Allows them to plan.

 

[John from Riverside]

This is what a well run organization looks like

For Deshaun Watson  

[Beast]

As he should be. This is a very important time of year.

So, are you saying you think we can trade straight up for Watson before the draft? I hear he wants out of Houston.  I think we can get that done!!!   

 

 

 

 

My apologies, I couldn’t help myself. There is no immediate rush to get this done. Other things have to happen first.  All in good time. Please carry on.
