The direct correct answer is: Exercise the option The thoughful answer is: Former first round draft pick who has flashed very good play at times with injury struggles. You can have him for one year for $8.7 million. You can't relpace him for that in free agency. Probably can't replace him for in the draft. Alternatively if Hawes is a true TE1, then the money might better upgrade the position. Fun answer : If you don't get him first, he can never rejoin the team later

The bigger question is who will be the general manager who gets to make that decision? If you are McDermott you have to be looking sideways at the offseason Beane put together. I am not convinced Beane is back If the bills do not make and win a playoff game this year

HAPPY GAMEDAY TBD! Have a great one. Topped off by the Bills ending the NFL hopes of the bottom half of Ohio today (the Browns' very existence takes care of the top half). Just Win, baby, Just Win! GO BILLS!

Head-to-head should matter - if it's important that Bama beat UGA in Athens, it's just as important that Miami beat ND. IMO, ND is the odd man out. If Bama and BYU are both left out, one could make the argument that conference championships games are of no importance. And maybe they aren't given that 5-loss Duke won the ACC and won't make the dance.

I fear gesicki and brown today. We know what chase is going to do but it’s the other guys I think can win the game for Kentucky’s team. I hope the bills come out physical and mixing it up after the whistle right from the start. The bengals are arrogant and think they are the bullies for some reason every week. Buffalo has to be physical from the first snap. I want to play defense first.

Josh would never in Buffalo! Go Bills!

I’ve seen plenty of Allen mockery for this all over social media as of late. We label mahomes as a cry baby, so I completely understand why opposing fan bases label Allen the same way

Fair point, but the idea of the Bills wanting part with him is, well, "EmotionallyUnstable." 🙂

I would probably just not sign him until post 2026 anyway. I don’t see us trading him at that point, and I don’t want to be on the hook for 2027 injury guarantees. Pass on the option, if he explodes in 2026, pay him. If he continues to be an injury prone old TE, he can walk.

Either decide to move on and trade him this off-season, or pick up the option. At 8.7M it's worth the risk.

Decline a fifth year option is not the same as letting a player walk. Also, that’s pretty doubtful in terms of his market.

Yes. Sorry, stupid question. Why not? The rest of the NFL would be falling over each other to get to him if the Bills somehow let Kincaid walk.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Josh is also probably not ever gonna get us a Super Bowl win and he’s worth every penny.

yes

Maybe true but I can rationalize a close loss to an up and coming division rival with what looks to be a franchise quarterback more so than two disastrous losses against generally bad football teams

I’m hesitant to bail on what little top tier receiving talent we have, but I just can’t hand out yet another big contract to someone I can’t count on to be out there on game days

I expect Cook and Chase Brown to each go well over 100 yards rushing.

He was at the game. Why would that stop people from cheering? Those were two off the top of my head. There’s other where it started to snow and the crowd just died out.

I’m sure people will have rational, non butt hurt responses to this….cant wait to see them!!

Beane will probably sign him to the largest tight end contract ever.

The 2023 first rounder class will have the team option 5th year decisions made this spring. Based on his performance and playing time, Kincaid’s 2027 season is projected to cost Buffalo 8.7 million if they choose to exercise it. I believe the Bills will pick this up, locking him in for the next two seasons (26’-27’). But SHOULD they continue down this path? Or would you prefer they let him play out is last year of the deal and see where it takes them, sign him to a multi-year cheaper deal, or just cut him loose? Personally, I believe they should exercise the 5th year option and that’s it. The injuries are too concerning for me to want to hitch my wagon to him, even at a discounted rate extending him early. I think the 8.7 is well worth another year, and if things trend upwards after next season, you could always extending him post-2026 with him under contract still in 2027 and plenty of time to work things out. https://overthecap.com/fifth-year-option-projections

This will scare the hell out of Darius Slay

Yep, Kwai, and on the positive Allen has begun to understand its ok to slide so you dont bang up your shoulder, chest, ir elbow.
