This seems like it turned into a CAP argument. The point was really that Allen is actually getting paid like the best QB in the NFL with #1 money. I could be wrong and Dak and possibly Mahomes could be making that at the moment... but it's a heckuva lot better than the 13th or 14th best QB in the league. Next season, according to Ginnitti, Allen will only make $14.5 million. Now... that's not necessarily his CAP hit, just how much Allen will actually make next year. I just do not think Beane will allow Allen to only make $14.5 million next year.

I know he's a rookie but maybe Bishop for Rapp is an upgrade

Wait... you guys actually believe this Bills will only pay the 2nd best player in the NFL $14.5 million next season?

Sorry if posted... I didn't see it. I came upon this buffalo rumblings article today: https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/10/3/24261159/buffalo-bills-josh-allen-quietly-renegotiated-his-contract-this-offseason Read it, but it cites this tweet by Mike Ginniti So basically... that restructure was in large part a way to give Allen fair compensation. Looking at those upcoming salaries, you can bet he's getting a new deal entirely in the offseason.

Are Shakir and Dawkins practicing?

This game actually terrifies me with Mixon and Dell coming back. Mixon runs like Henry. He's not Henry... but same style runner.

This game was honestly my fault. I broke complete normal tradition of where I watch and who I watch it with because my brother-in-law said he wanted to hang out and watch a game. So and his wife (my wife's sister) invited us over to hang out and watch the game. They cooked. It was more of a social event. And even going in to watch this with them, I resigned myself to a loss since I was doing something completely different. I just kept telling myself that 3-1 is still good... but how come I feel so depressed today

Yes. I actually resigned myself to a loss going into this game and was fine with 3-1. I thought Josh was seriously hurt at one point. Not fine. Josh is my fantasy QB. I love that they keep pulling him early in these games... blowout Ws or Ls.

Milano at 100% is one of the best LBs in the NFL. You play him and mix Dorian into games as an X-factor when Matt is healthy... and let's remember that he might not be at any point this season.

None of us are in the room, but I think Allen and Diggs really do have a brotherly relationship. And I think they both understand how much each of them were good for each other's careers. It's just obvious they had to move on to the next chapter. I could be wrong, but I'd bet Allen understands the hyper-competitive nature of Diggs and realizes in large part that's what made him such a great WR for the NFL and for the Bills. Remember... those 2 guys spent a lot of time together for 4 years. The Bengals blowup notwithstanding, I don't think their relationship was as volatile as it was made out to be in the media.

Josh Allen is such an amazing person. When he says stuff like this, it feels genuine.

Well... they're also girthy

Didn't do it and not doing it. I will happily creep into what I anticipate will be the many other Josh Allen threads. I already got one prediction right I was able to start a thread for, anyway

... you know what and who this is about... And then my favorite...

Anyone really surprised with this result? Love that the Pats beat the Bengals in week 1!

Why is it obvious? To me it's clear they're confident Taron will be back for at least the Ravens game if not the Texans game and Bernard (if not on IR by Monday) will be back for at least the Jets game if not the Texans game.

Great representation of what this board should be. I also admit it was small of me to keep poking and prodding. In the future I will try my darndest to make sure any further posts in this thread by me aren't of that nature Let's hug.

You guys are being ridiculous. Gregg Tompsett broke this down nicely. This is essentially a 3 year, $39 million contract that we can easily get out of after the 3rd year. He's the 17th highest paid tackle in the NFL based on overall AAV and his total guaranteed money ranks 20th among tackles as far as % of total contract value. Good deal for both sides. And Brown played well in week 1 so seems like he's picking up where he left off last season.

Listened to the NFL Daily Podcast with Gregg Rosenthall this morning (really fun and informative podcast btw) and in previewing the TNF game, they talked about the old Von Miller being back. Apparently Von Miller was credited with 5 pressures. I assume that's in addition to his sack. Those types of advanced stats are the ones you get on paid subscriptions like PFF and the all-new NFL Pro that shows like NFL Daily subscribe to. Even if not, those pressures with a sack and QB hit mixed in along with a few good plays in the run game probably have @GunnerBill, who objectively reviews All-22 film, finally conceding Von had an impactful game. Good on you for your objectivity Gunner!

He probably just hasn't been saying much of anything at all about Buffalo, either. It's how he operates. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if Buffalo beats the Fins this weekend and Josh looks like a stud he suddenly leaps them not only into the top 10 but the top 5
