‘”There’s a lot of different ways you can go about it,” Allen said of how contract extensions can come together. “Honestly, I love playing football. I want to listen and be engaged in the contract talks. Ultimately that’s why you pay your agents, and that’s why you hire a guy like Brandon Beane, (assistant general manager) Joe Schoen and the front office guys and what they do. They’ll iron out the details and if we can get to something soon, I’d obviously love to be locked down in Buffalo for a very long time.’
