Josh maybe the 11th highest paid QB soon


Recommended Posts

1. Lamar Jackson 

2. Jalen Hurts

3. Aaron Rogers

4. Russell Wilson 

5 Kyler Murray

6 Deshawn Watson

7 Patrick Mahomes

8 Josh 

soon to jump up

Joe Burrow

Justin Herbert 

next year 

Trevor Lawrence 


We get on Brandon from time to time but just an amazing job by the front office to lock Josh up early he’s looking more and more like they shopped at Walmart for a franchise QB.

Just kind of how it goes, as he makes his way down that list he slowly approaches the moment he jumps back to the top.

Beane had to fork over the highest guaranteed money in league history at the time to get that deal with Allen done.

 

  That other QBs got paid more subsequently isn't due to Beane's contract skills.

No but he paid him earlier than many on here wanted him to pay Josh.  That is due to his contract skills

So, why does anyone care what any of these guys get paid, I mean really?  Rest assured they are all doing really well when compared to all incomes in the US, in fact they are all top two percent annually.

I think that as Bills/NFL fans, a lot of folks are interested in how their salaries impact the salary cap and how that helps or limits the team's ability to sign other quality players.  That's where I fall.  The other perspective is that, as a fan, people think "their guy" is the best, and since their salaries are public, they want to see their guy at the top of the list.  Personally, I like it when my guy is willing to take less so that the team can benefit more.  Brady did this, Mahomes is doing this, and Allen is doing it too.  Allen could have held out for more money than the Bills paid him, but instead took a very fair deal that took care of him nicely and also left some room for the team to sign other guys.

he resigned him after his 4th year of his rookie contract.  That’s when you sign a star franchise QB who is lighting up the league….

No he signed him after his 3rd year, that was the leap that not all teams have made it and it certainly saved the Bills some money.

This.  

 

Imagine if Beane had waited as long to extend Allen as Baltimore waited to extend Jackson.  

 

   Not to mention how much more work they'd create for themselves when trying to sign other players.  Players see you playing games with a talent like Josh they may not want to play for a team that's is managed that way.  If they already put in the effort on the field with their play they surely won't feel they should have to put in more effort just to get what they earned.

There's nothing special about this at all from a GM's point of view. Everyone but Mahomes was signed after Allen, and the money a franchise QB gets is pretty automatic. Any new contract is going to put a guy at or near the top even if he isn't the best. in 2014 Jay Culter was the highest paid player in the league. No one, not even his parents, ever thought he was the best player in football.

If you want to pump up Beane, credit him for something he actually had control over.
