AND signing big name free agents, and making moves....!! Is Ralph back running the Bills??? Top 7 teams (based on actual roster talent!!) - Chiefs - Eagles - Bengals - Ravens - Jets - Dolphins - Bills.... Josh STILL l has to do it all, and that's on Beane! The Bills are essentially the same team that moped back to their lockers back in January (Only without Edmonds)... Frankly my above list might be generous for the Bills. Get real.. Nobody that the Bills can draft this weekend is a difference maker for the Bills.... Better get D-HOP, and NOW!! This will be true if we lose out on D Hop to the Ravens or Chiefs.

Alphadawg7 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Pretty on par with what I think was expected. Josh is 7th on the list now, but after Burrow and Herbert Allen will be almost out of the top 10 in most expensive. Just an absolute bargain Josh Allens contract is now for who is arguably the 2nd best player in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appoo Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) If Allen puts up MVP type seasons this year and next, he’s gonna be needing a new contract in after the 24/25 season. Just no way he’s gonna be happy as the 10th best paid QB. Edited April 27, 2023 by appoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 That seems like a big price for a player that no team seemed interested in making a big offer on when he was available.

The next contract tops the last one. Allen will be setting the market soon enough. none of these qbs are a bargain and it severely hampers your team. That’s why, as much as some bills fans try to discredit him, what Mahomes did last year was absolutely amazing. He had the best season of his career after reading a top 3ish receiver. That’s just stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a lot of money going to a single player who’s not gonna be an all pro. He’s got a slightly higher cap hit than Diggs and he’s not currently in the same league as Diggs as a WR. The opportunity cost of OBJ is significant, and Beane probably took one look at that market and said hell no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I said, some teams are willing to take chances to win. They needed WR help badly. And they needed to show Lamar they were willing to help him. We’ll see how it works out.

He’s the highest paid player in the league by AAV, has the 2nd highest total dollar contract (only Mahomes’ 10 year deal totals more) and has the 2nd most guaranteed dollars. Yeah, seems like the Ravens caved. If your argument against that is that he didn’t get 100% guaranteed, then you should learn about how negotiations work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
