I feel like he hasn’t done much to expect that return rookie season was his best and then sacks have fallen off 

 

10.5 rookies season, injured year 2 so only 2.5 sacks, 7.5 sacks year 3 plus an INT and 3 so far this season. 23.5 sacks so far is really good considering he's the best pass rusher they have and everyone knows it.

I just read the title as "QB who likes to run, Josh Allen, getting trade interest."

 

Not happy

I think he is pretty good when I've watched him, which has been more than just our game against them last year.

 

 

Hes talented, but we are deep on the D Line this year.  That’s not an area we need to bolster.  Especially as we need the draft capital to offset the impact several contract extensions will be popping including the guy who wears #17.

 

Other teams who are relatively close and has the cash will most likely find a home.  I also am very cynical that Coach wants to part with a high impact rusher who is young.  I’ll write what I always write on these “let’s bring him in” threads, we’re not playing Madden.

More Allen’s yes please

I don't understand the trend of teams trading away good, young players once they're having a losing season.

If it's a salary cap necessity, a character issue, or a young team getting rid of an old guy, then I understand.

But if teams like the Panthers and Jaguars traded away guys like Brian Burns and Josh Allen? THAT I would not understand.

I don't understand how trading away talented, young players on cost controlled deals at premium positions helps a rebuilding effort.

 

Agreed. Ditto with Bradley Chubb. If I'm a GM these young, talented pass rushers are the kind of players I'm trying to acquire, not trade away.

 

All 3 of these players are young enough to be foundational pieces in a rebuild situation. It's hard enough finding pass rushers without trading them away.

I’m all for trading for Josh Allen’s twin brother from another mother.

Pass rushers also age fairly well, they play at a high level into their early 30's. Top pass rushers barring serious injury don't typically fall off until around age 32-34 and even then they don't completely fall off a cliff. So if you have a Jags Josh Allen, Bradley Chubb or Burns who are 24-26 years old they have a lot of prime years left. A rebuild in the NFL takes 3 or so seasons so a coach coming in with a 24-26 year old pass rusher is going to have a 27-29 year old still producing at a prime level with some more years left in the tank. 

 

Now if a pass rusher is 29-31 years old then a rebuilding team is going to want some draft capital to bring in players that will assist in a rebuild 2-3 years from now. So I just don't see these players getting traded.
