bills6969 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 He’ll likely get a new contract after this season or next. His Cap hit in ‘26 is like 65m. They’ll likely renegotiate it to add years and smooth out the cap impact 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 9 hours ago, MarlinTheMagician said: Allen is now, I believe, the 11th highest paid QB in the NFL and behind the likes of Kirk Cousins, Lawrence and Jalen Hurts. He is $12 million below market. Great job by Beane stepping up when he did. That $12 million nets us at least two starters. Interested in thoughts on when we should we extend Allen. Seems there is no time like the present! In AAV, yes. He is still near the top of actual cash per year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 White, Miller, Milano, Dawkins, and Knox will all liiely come off the books by then end of 2025. Maybe Bass too if he continues to stink. Who do the need to extend? Rousseau, Bernard, and Benford maybe and all of them are replaceable. Pay the man next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are good but not great players. I would pay Bernard and Benford for sure if you can get them at a reasonable cost. Rousseau will be interesting. Can't stay healthy but still young. Would love to see him get double digit sacks and keep him. Need to see it happen first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 7 hours ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: This is how much Josh Allen will get. It’s scary. Next years cap is projected $273 million. Josh Allen will get approximately 24% of the cap. ALLEN WILL SIGN FOR $65 million per year. 😲 It’s unbelievable that 7 out of the 10 QBs are in the AFC and the remaining NFC threesome includes Murray at AZ being paid some ridiculous amount for some odd reason.

Bray Wyatt Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 10 hours ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: The Hurts contract is interesting. The next three seasons these are his cap hit rankings for the QB position: 2024- 16th $13M 2025- 18th $21M 2026- 15th $31M And then.. 2027- 9th $41M 2028- 4th $47M 2029- 1st $97M 2030* -29 $27M *Only three QB's under contract for 2030 season but got to figure $27M will be cheap. Eagles are basically all in to win these next three seasons with Hurts. Even AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith don't make outrageous money until after 2027. The weird thing is the Joe Burrow contact has no cap relief at all. It's basically consistently high in cap hit for the next six seasons from 2024 to 2029. Their owner likely wants it that way, as restructuring means more cash up front to pay out and I believe is cash poor. Especially if he is going to re-sign Chase who will need a big signing bonus as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he becomes an absolute terror. He’s a $20 million player now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dma0034 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I wanted the Bills to sign Allen to the Mahomes deal 10 years 500 million. Would have been such a bargain for that whole contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iraq Vet Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Total contract value numbers are all smoke and mirrors. Every great player breaks the "record" when it is their turn for an extension. But then the average per year is high but reasonable because of the cap. The next extension for Allen will be for $500 million plus total for 7or 8 years with a ton of it backloaded. People will go "wow, but deserved". Allen makes millions more in endorsements per year. He is no dummy, he will want his next contract to look like the next big wow thing.... but he knows that he needs good players ($$) around him so it will be CAP reasonable per year. Tom Brady knew this.... Mahomes knows this...All smart super stars know this. You don't get to the Hall of Fame, Super Bowls, Stanly Cups, World Series, and millions in endorsements and jobs after your career without great players ($$$) and coaches around you. Playing the long game with contracts will in fact make him even more money over his lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I suspect Josh doesn't care about making as much as those other guys - He already has more money than he knows what to do with, and I believe he would rather surround himself with a good roster so he can win. The problem is going to be the NFLPA. Whenever Josh does get a new contract, it will have to be enormous. The union frowns on hometown discounts - it sets the market lower for the guys who just want their bag. Hopefully, it can be structured in a team-friendly way.

Chicken Boo Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I don't get this line of thinking. Josh's contract is manageable this year because he signed at an earlier time than the current crop of QB contract lotto winners. Wait until you see his next deal.

Unless he becomes an absolute terror. He’s a $20 million player now. He's only $2M now and $13M next year on his 5th year guarantee. If he only puts up 5-7 sacks this year and next then I let him walk after 2025. If he puts up 10+ sacks this year then I extend him before 2025 season. I'd rather pay a pass rusher than a MLB. Benford is going to be tricky. How much is he really worth? Yes he is a starting CB but is he just a good zone coverage guy? Is he a shut down corner, no? Signing him to an early team friendly deal makes a lot of sense. He's a 6th round pick and if you show him some love and commitment now maybe you can come to terms on a reasonable 3 year deal. That gives him another opportunity to get a large signing bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I'm of the belief that both Josh and Beane are fine with things the way they are for at least 2 years. Josh is signed through the 2028 season. 2026 is the year for an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good not great so far and can't stay healthy. Great is 10+ sacks. Still young and can be great. No reason to think he can't get better. 100% agree on picking up his 5th yr option 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
