He and his family are still pretty well off as it is. Not Josh Allen contract extension well off but I'm sure he's fine.

Your crazy if you think he’s going to get more. He had a mediocre season last year and on top of that NFL teams have started to figure him out and he can’t read defenses. Call it unfair but Lamar to me is just a better version of Tyrod Taylor Oy yi yi. Lamar can singlehandedly you win a game. Taylor could single handedly make an occasional 6 yard pass out of a broken mess on a single play. I would say Allen is much better than Lamar but Lamar is scary. He’s gonna get a nice payday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would need to completely retool the team if they have a different QB. I think it is likely that Baltimore will overpay Lamar and doom themselves to mediocrity as a result. I think Cleveland will try to be more conservative with the Baker Boy but he will demand more. Again, glad we are first in the clubhouse with this deal. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 When you look at it long term, it’s not as much as you think. Keep in mind that he’s locked up relatively cheaply over the next few years, so this $43M/aav is a bit skewed. Some fans aren’t sold on Allen and I understand that but ultimately Allen is about as humble as they come, he’s a hard worker and the money won’t get to his head. I’m more concerned with injury at this point. He plays like a bull in a China shop, but has the arm strength and intellect to be a pure passer if he blows out a knee. As far as Baker and Lamar go, good thing we got this done before they got new deals. Neither of them are as remotely good as Allen, so if I’m Baltimore or Cleveland, I would pause if either of them want similar money. Lamar plays in a dumbed down, gimmicky offense that makes QBing much easier for him. He will never be a good enough QB to handle the complexities of a viable, long term, sustainable NFL offense. He’s an ACL injury away from being a career backup. Baker is a very good game managing QB. He’ll never put up numbers like Allen and he’ll never be able to carry a team the way Allen can, so I don’t understand why he is exalted so much in the media. Sure, he’s okay, good maybe, but not great. All in all, it’s great news that we got Allen’s deal done first before Lamar and Mayfield’s deals. In no way do either of them deserve more money than Allen. So if either team signed them to similar deals to what Allen got, his price would’ve been driven up astronomically and rightfully so. Ultimately this deal saves the Pegula’s money long term, but in another 4-5 years Allen will likely cash in again, just as all the other elite QBs do, but in the end, this needed to happen. Keep your franchise QB happy. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens will overpay Lamar, and unless Lamar makes giant strides in his passing ability this year.. as exciting as he is.. has no business getting paid JA17 money. Browns/Baker could get dicey, depending on how he views himself. If he thinks he’s worth JA17 money, the Browns will likely balk and point to the fact that Baker - so far - has shown himself to be elevated by the talent around him.. not the other way around. Josh Allen sealed the deal when he went god mode against the Colts WC Weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I suspect the Lamar gets more per year on a shorter deal with less guaranteed money. If I had to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
