If Josh did not want to extend his contract and potentially leave, would you blame him?

I believe he also has alotta say in the direction of the organization. He has a say in draft picks. He wouldn't get that everywhere. They are close they just missing a playmaker or 2 on defense.

They need more than just a couple players on Defense.

I don't think he'll ever be that guy.  Too nice and respectful

 

agreed.  But hopefully he tells Pegs quietly then.  Because him just leaving without an explanation would be a disaster.

And what if instead of this stupid thought process that the “fans” have - we look at the fact that Josh seems to really like playing for McD and Beane.

 

Maybe he has spoken to ownership and stated his preference to play for these guys.

 

Maybe - he realizes that the last several years he has had the ball at the end of the game with a shot to tie or win and the lack of plays has been on him and the offense.  He is always hardest on himself and that is part of the frustration - the game has been in his hands and they have not come away with the win.

 

I think he realizes how much of a say he has - he gets input on players that stay and go and draft picks - he stated Coleman was his guy - he thought he would be a great fit and that is the guy they made work.

 

If he wanted new coaching - he could talk to Terry and would before a change is made, but I believe the exact opposite - I think Josh likes McD and the freedom he gives the team and that helps ground him here.  I also think you are more likely to see Josh leave if we make a change to a coach that doesn’t foster his attitude - someone like Bill Beli and his attitude.

I disagree. If for instance his wife is making his life miserable, this means more than playing football 3,000 milies from home (if there is an option). Should he put his foot down if she makes it an issue and demand a divorce?

And again,, we are talking about six years down the road.

In this scenario you've concocted Josh allows Haillee and the kids to go live in Los Angeles rather than in Buffalo where his job is and then she issues him ultimatums and his marriage depends on him playing for the Chargers or Rams?  Why is she such a horrible B word in your fantasy?

After marriage and children, Josh will want to live in the LA full time.

 

This is to support his wifes acting and music career.

After he retires with a few rings , I will personally be his agent for being the next James Bond

2025 is the last year with guaranteed money for the contract. 2026 and 2027 are essentially void years. This offseason, we should anticipate discussions about an extension. It's possible that Josh could express his desire to play out the current contract, which might lead Beane to trade him for four first-round picks, only to have those picks turn out to be busts.

 

First, Josh will be getting his 2025 salary guaranteed when they restructure it in a couple of weeks.

At that time too, he gets his 2026 option bonus guaranteed.

Josh will most likely sign a new contract sometime in the 2026 season.  Removing the big "cap hit" for 2026 has no doubt been planned.

He is not obligated to restructure his contract this year. While we hopes he either restructure or sign an extension, he may choose not to do either.

It’s not like a date to a middle school dance and your girl didn’t show up. There is no chance he just fails to show up some day and we are left wondering why.

He certainly could. How realistic do you think that possibility is? Can you put a number on it? I’d say it’s less than 5% thru his prime. I can’t spend too much time worrying about that or the possibility that the asteroid with a 2.6% chance of hitting the earth is ever going to ruin my day.

They lowered the asteroid chance the other day; I hope the Josh is here when the world ends

Rob Johnson rented the suite at the Hilton for years lol you don't need to plant roots if you don't want to 

 

Josh isn't even a Los Angeles or San Francisco city kid 

 

He literally was raised in the small town of firebaugh, exact opposite of glitz and glammer

 

He he doesn't need to be in Los Angeles to be happy and I'm pretty sure like Jim Kelly he's going to stay here and if anything hailee Steinfeld likes the small town love

 

Josh can spend the off-season at his California properties like he always does but he's embraced Buffalo and he certainly is now considered an adopted son and one of our own

Late to Flame our beloved Virgil.

 If Josh made that decision , I am sure he thought it out. And would be accountable. 

So , no I could not blame him.

 

 You seem upset ? 🧐

LA may be a stretch.

 

But I thought So Cal was really nice about an hour outside LA.  I liked the Huntington beach area.

 

But close enough to LA to continue to grow her career but not in the middle of the city.

 

I know that Josh lives in Encino I believe and she is pretty close to there.

Not Encino-- that's in the middle of the San Fernando Valley. He has a house in a gated community in Dana Point, which is South of Huntington Beach. If Josh Allen lived there year-round, he would not be playing football (unless he didn't mind driving about 3 1/2 hours every day).

Opening the new stadium with a 3 win team will be a bigger disaster

No I don't. You consistently accuse me of doing things I don't do. 

 

I am not a fire McDermott guy. That bit is true. It does not equal giving him a pass. There is a lot of difference between those two positions. 

 

You take extreme positions consistently and then back off them and deny.  You were blaming Josh and Beane and I don't care what you say now.
