Jerry Jabber Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 If Mahomes is averaging $45M a year, I think Allen will get between $46-$50M a year. I’m guessing it will be for 5-6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys try to get a bigger contract than the last guy as they want to be the highest paid player at their position. I think Allen will get more per year than Mahomes, but I’m not sure if the Bills give him a ten year contract similar to Mahomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butch rolle Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Tough pill to swallow tonight but what a fun season. I'm trying to stay optimistic that they will be able to fill some glaring holes through free agency and the draft but obviously, cap resources become much more constricted once Allen gets his extension. There have been recent threads suggesting that the performance gap between Allen and Mahomes was becoming fairly narrow and while I love Josh, I still think there is a long ways to go. Do you think the fact that he was significantly outplayed twice this year by Mahomes keeps that number south of the previously suggested $45M mark? Any chance they pump the brakes on the extension and wait until the next offseason? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milanos Milano Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I’m offering Allen 40 million a year, if he doesn’t accept it, we need to move on. We need to be able to pay other talented players to be super bowl caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man with No Name Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 there is a number that he is worth right now, and then there is a number he will be worth if he does this for a 2nd straight season. THey should try to get him for something like 35-40 tops. if he says no, see if he can do it again. if he does it again, you can go 45. if he doesn't want that, we were all fooled and he doesn't want to be here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. K Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 My buddy and I were debating today about the contract and he was trying to convince me he was going to be the highest paid. I said 25-35 mil a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bray Wyatt Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Josh seems like a team player and knows that to achieve greatness he needs other people. I suspect he will sign a team friendly deal, doesn’t mean he will be cheap though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills6969 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The only silver-lining after tonight’s outcome is we won’t have to give Allen a Mahomes level deal now. He’ll probably get something just north of what Watson got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I would like to see something around 37 million a year, but he probably comes in around 40. He isn’t worth Mahomes money. Because he can’t beat Mahomes without help on D and we have to find the money somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A silver lining as I want Josh to be the frachise QB but I also don't want the team to paint themselves into a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could pick up the option and do it next year. Though his price will never be lower than it is now. And for that reason we should extend him now. I still see Josh improving. Tonight was filled with poor offensive and defensive game plans. I'm not beating Josh up for tonight. Instead I sign him asap and thank my lucky stars we chose him over others.

Beane is a gm that knows the cap and I am sure he will work out a deal that allows him to manipulate it if need be. Whether that is a percentage based contract or one that is for less overall money but more guaranteed etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Allen proved today he can’t beat Mahomes with what he currently has. I hope his ego allows him to take the cuts necessary to bring the Lombardi to Buffalo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen doesn’t strike me as someone that cares about money more than winning. He is willing to do whatever he can to win. He plays like that, and I bet he feels the same about his contract (within reason of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
