Why in the world would you renegotiate a contract with 4 years still on it? Show me you're all in. Show me you're a team player and not the diva you're made out to be. Put up the numbers and after the season we talk extension. Extension? He’s under contract through 2023. The only change would be a restructuring to convert base salary into guaranteed money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills are going all in RIGHT NOW because they know Allen is not going to get a second contract and if they are ever going to do anything with the team to justify their jobs, it has to be NOW. So they are loading up everything they can and gearing up for one (or 2) massive roll(s) of the dice. LOLOLOLOL ROFLMAO Josh Allen is going to be the Bills' QB for (at least) the next ten years. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is straight racism. Despite what some people are saying/thinking about Diggs not being a "Bills type" player consider this: No matter who was his OC, HC or QB the guy ALWAYS produces. He grumbled a couple times? So what? He continued to DELIVER on the field. Never has held out during the season, what makes people think that will start now? I'm thinking the coaches, his teammates and the fan base will LOVE this guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is more like acquiring Cornelius Bennett. I remember that trade on Halloween 1987. Everyone was talking up Eric Dickerson to the Colts and the Rams getting all those draft picks, but, EASILY, the most impactful part of that entire trade was Bennett's on the Bills and it isn't even close. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does well an extension of a year or two that front loads and enables an easy out if he under performs in the future is not a bad idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You know simple frontloading of contracts". Hahahahaha The idea of front-loading contracts is simple. You pay a player for his good years and as the contract goes on, the salary decreases. The concept is not meant to save anyone money and it does decrease short term payroll flexibility, but can benefit a team in the latter years of a deal. Is that how it works Harry? Maybe you can elaborate more for the rest of us simple Bills fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time? No. Though I'm sure all teams would love that during negotiations. In Diggs' case it's easier because he is already contractually obligated and under team control for the next 4 years.

That 1991 D did give up a lot of yards and some points, but Bennett spear-headed a defense that was a turnover machine, paired with an all time great O.
