The other issue is he has been making $18 million a year. I doubt he would get that much now, given his age, but I imagine a team will be willing to pay him $15 million, maybe? He has a ring already, so I wonder what his priorities are: winning another ring, or making more money?

They are going through a massive rebuild. There's no reason to keep him. By the time they are finished rebuilding he will be retiring.

It's a 5th year option. You use the 5th year option for two reasons: to lock up a good player for another year while you work out an extension, or to lock up a player for another year of evaluation who you aren't 100% sure about yet. Edmunds is fine. He works. He gets the job done. Moving on from him without having an immediate upgrade is not an option, which is why you take the 5th year option. Bringing in Wagner would be a huge upgrade.

You mess up every post, but nobody has fired you yet.

This is what I was going to say. Russel Wilson was hurt for a bunch of games.

Gotta say Bobby Wagner now that he is available.

Hey, I'd totally take him. I have no idea how much he would cost. He is a clear upgrade from Edmunds. Edmunds is not as bad as everyone claims, but Wagner is a really good player. He's 31 so we would only get a couple more years out of him, though. I defend Edmunds a lot, but he has clearly been an average player so far in his career. He is a physical specimen with high upside, but he has not lived up to that potential yet. A lot of people claim he sucks. He doesn't. But I would not argue with anyone who says he is average. So far, he has had one above average year and the rest have been average or below average.

He's the type of player who needs to go get as big of a contract as he possibly can. Maybe if there isn't a lot of interest he'll re-sign with the Bills.

Every single year in free agency. Good players get paid like elite players. Average players get paid like good players.

He is good depth. Sad to see him go.

The worst thing he ever did was have that stupid mustache.

Van Noy is a decent player. He'll find a team.

He has made a TON of money. Good for him. But he is definately not mediocre. He has top 10 stats. He isn't elite because he doesn't have that clutch gene or the ability to put the team on his back in key situations, but he throws for a lot of yards and TD's and he is an efficient passer. People have been saying that ever since QB's were making $10 million a year. Wasn't true then and it isn't true now.

And the Week 17 game against the Dolphins. He was dominant and efficient in that game.

Everything we see from Allen today was present in his game as a rookie. He just has gotten much more consistent, better at reading defenses, able to rise to big moments better, etc. The narrative that Josh Allen has ever sucked at the NFL level is, and always has been, untrue. What makes him so exciting today was still true his rookie year.

Why are you piling on a random, undrafted player who is just trying to make a living playing the sport he loves? Good for him. Someone is willing to pay him to play football.

He IS currently under contract with the Bills until the new league year. The Bills DO have exclusive rights to him until the new league year. He DOES NOT have any right whatsoever to test the market right now, until the new league year and his contract is up (except the two day legal tampering period, that is). This is basic stuff.

The Bills should be doing whatever they possibly can to win now, and that means bringing in whatever free agents you need to make that happen. But, the Bills aren't loaded with cap space, so they will not be able to sign a bunch of guys unless they are depth pieces. I agree that comp picks should not be a primary factor to consider. Bring in the guys to help win.

He doesn't sound like a good friend if he is going around showing personal texts to strangers.

So crazy that a couple years ago we considered this one of his weaknesses. Josh Allen is a man on a mission to not just improve his weaknesses but to turn them into strengths, and even become the BEST at them. Honestly, I've never seen anything like it. He is supremely gifted.

He has tried to use his influence to negatively impact local businesses, so I think he is getting exactly what is coming to him.

So if they interviewed a bunch of players, why did they only include this one, single quote about this? Seems like they got one player to say what they wanted and then filled the rest of the article with speculation.

If he wears gloves it is especially a non issue.

Yeah, and I think that is not the main reason a player would be fumble prone. Josh was fumble prone his first couple of years (maybe he still is, a little), and it was not because he has small hands.

I think hand size is honestly a stupid thing to measure. If you can play, you can play.
