JA - “When it's time to put the cleats up, hopefully it'll be in Buffalo."

[BillsFan619]

"Bills Mafia is the best. The fans, the people of western New York are the best people you'll ever meet in your life and that's kind of what I talked about earlier, the family-like atmosphere in the community, the small-town feel," Allen said. "Everybody kind of knows everybody. I'm just very fortunate to be a part of a community that loves me as much as I love them and being around them and being in western New York. So it's a perfect fit."

 

"I don't want to play anywhere else. Not too often do players get to stay with one team their entire career," Allen said. "This is home to me and it'll never not be home. I'd love to continue to play here as long as I can and when it's time to put the cleats up, hopefully it'll be in Buffalo."

How can you not love Josh.  What a man

[Gregg]

I could see him following Jim Kelly and living and raising a family in WNY. Even after his playing days are over. He will probably still have a home CA, but I can see him having one here in Buffalo. He really seems to like it here.

Definitely sounds like Hailee is persuading him to play for the Rams, Chargers or 49ers.

I've watched and listened to Josh since he was drafted just like the rest of you

I never once felt Josh would want or choose to finish his career somewhere else.

His comments come to absolute no surprise to me, I expect him to be playing for the Bills when he is 40

This may be heresy, and I don't expect him to leave willingly, but if he's playing at 40+, as much as it would break all involved's collective heart, league history suggests that there may come a time when it's inevitably not in Buffalo.

When he's washed at 43 we'll just trade him to the Jets looking for their first playoff birth in 40 years.

I thought they only sign washed GB QB's. Figure Jordon Love will be there at some point.

Imagine the pressure Love has on him following Favre and Rodgers.  Our last two QB's have a combined 7 MVP's.  Good luck.

After more embarrassing events like today,  I wouldn't blame him one bit.

Just cut it with this crap 

 

Nothing embarrassing happened today players get popped for peds all the time 

 

In fact all we're going to be getting is a fresher beast week 7 

 

It's no stain on our franchise these are professional athletes plenty of them are juicing and they just don't get caught

Cool, you're one of these "if you're not cheating,  you're not trying guys".  Yeah, we didn't really need them those first 6 games, got it....

Nope. He’ll retire in California. His private plane will get them to games when needed. Don’t kid yourselves—Buffalo is fine for a family, but California has plenty of small towns, like Firebaugh. Jim grew up nearby. 
Josh seems like a well balanced person. He will retire well before he becomes a Rogers Clown Show.

Absolutely not that's disgraceful you'll never see me say taking peds is respecting the game 

 

But I've also been around it long enough to know that it does happen.. and we have people cry that we don't have enough talent andv we signed choir boys 

 

We get a guy who actually is running around the policy and now it's disgraceful 

 

But it happens in wrestling in sprinting in cycling in baseball every sport 

 

We've built a great image over the last 8 years getting popped with two ped signings does not destroy that 

 

I'd rather have that than have two guys popped for beating their wives

Kelly and family grew up a couple hours away or Batavia. Both Hailee and Josh family’s and upbringing are in CA. Children can change everything. We will see. Golf in Buffalo or Pebble Beach?

Josh loves golf way too much to retire in Buffalo.  I love Buffalo, but one of the reasons I'll never move back from California is that I can play golf here 365 days a year.

He can do both he's a multi-millionaire 

 

Orchard Park is one of the best communities to raise a family in in the country and he can play golf in California and have he wants because he can fly private

LOL. After you shovel the family out. You don’t think at least 5 towns in Rochester aren’t equal or better? Let’s not argue that but OP is not hands down special at all.
