Cook has all the cards in this situation. Sure he could be out $5.4m but no one can force him to play in 2025. It may backfire on him come 2026, I can imagine there are a handful of teams that will pay him what he wants.

I like md Sean Dolac but Beane somehow forgot the Buffalo connection. Remember the bullets go straighter on home soil.

McDermott is on very stable ground so long as Allen his a top level QB. Sure Beane has missed on a good number of picks and the defense philosophy has flaws but a constant 13 or 11 win season keeps you your job.

I like the idea of a good safety with skills.

Cook is worth more to us than off the team in 2025. Let him walk in 2026 if he’s unwilling to sign. Get a comp pick in 2027 draft.

Diggs coming back would be like McGahee coming back.

The Bills are 0-0 are after playing the Chiefs in the playoffs.

Agreed and Allen isn’t dependent on his OC scheming guys wide open, preferring to ad-lib which Mahomes can do a few times a game, while that’s Allen’s core game. Assume it’s a shootout. Could the Bills defense do a better job than the Spags D featuring 2 All-Pros and hard hitting Safeties? Prolly not. Saquon would have not been bottled up. However it’s worth pointing out 2 Mahomes 1st half picks led to 14 points. I don’t think Allen gifts the Eagles 14.

The Bills would have stuck in the game. At times the Chiefs looked disinterested on offense and Mahomes had zero time. Not saying the Bills would have solved the Fangio defense but it’s conceivable it wouldn’t have been 0-34. Pretty much any team could have done better than 0-34. Mahomes played his worst game of his career and got exposed as a Reid inspired QB. Once it was clear the Eagles owned the LOS Mahomes fell back into his Texas Tech script and failed to play the script Reid was calling. The ball which was out in 1.7 seconds vs the Bills soft zone defense was held as the Eagles defense tore through the KC OL. It was a 4 only 5 exhibition. Mahomes crumbled and at one point was 2 picks to 0 TDs and 50% passing. Such a poor game I wonder if Mahomes was concussed.

Allen had a great season with no consistent deep threat. Forced to throw to many WRs who lack ability separate he played highly intelligent and efficient football.

Allen’s 2021 playoff run was insane. 9 TD passes in 2 games, 0 picks? Everything before and after seems like a struggle. That was effortless.

It’s a WR driven league. Allen needs a guy who can get open in 1.5-2.0 seconds.

This requires time on task, reps, separation ability, and QB accuracy. I can only say what I see on the TV which isn’t much.

If the refs didn’t put the thumb on the scale for KC we might have witnessed a game where a team was throughly out-coached yet some magnificent player efforts led to an upset victory.
