That’s how life works. He’s the best at what he does on the planet. When you’re the very very best at what you do in your field, then you demand top dollar for your services.
whether it be engineering, football or nannying.
I’d argue it makes them worse. That’s a lot of money going to a single player who’s not gonna be an all pro. He’s got a slightly higher cap hit than Diggs and he’s not currently in the same league as Diggs as a WR.
The opportunity cost of OBJ is significant, and Beane probably took one look at that market and said hell no.
If Allen puts up MVP type seasons this year and next, he’s gonna be needing a new contract in after the 24/25 season. Just no way he’s gonna be happy as the 10th best paid QB.
Adds versatility, which is what you want from WRs 4 - 6.
Dorsey has a lot of different of ways to deploy his weapons between the TEs and now various WR types that are legit NFL players.
Yes, pretty much
Bills didn't need a big ticket OLineman IMO.
With Allen's contract, you build him an average priced OLine, and ask him to deal with that. Last year;s OLine was not average, so hopefully this year's will be. That's the goal
?
Bates started at LG in the playoffs last season and at RG all this season, and in both cases was an easy upgrade to Staffold.
Bates has always been a left sided player until last year, at PSU he started at LG and finished at LT. Connor McGovern was actually the RG on those PSU teams
The Bills looked like a pantheon level team until injuries caught up with the defense and the league caught on that the Bills OLine just wasn't there and Dorsey didn't have the answers to that (not that we should have expected him to. Having an average OLine is fine. Having a bad OLine is a fatal flaw usually) beyond asking Josh to save to them
