Just not going to go under center with an unfamiliar butt...😄 His doing a restructure was going to happen anyway, it had nothing to do with this. Now if Allen wants to tear up his contract and take less, then yeah I can see this being part of it Just now, HappyDays said: It is a good deal, less than I thought he'd get on the open market. This does limit what we can do in the rest of FA though. Probably takes Evans and Doubs off the table. But we can still afford a mid to low tier EDGE, OLB, and safety. We were never getting Evans. Doubs has been reported to SF for awhile now. WR is done outside of the draft. We need to focus on nothing but Defense now. 2 2 Quote
BarleyNY Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Very surprised all the way around on this. First, his void date wasn’t pushed back so nothing was happening with an extension a couple weeks ago. Second, that he’s staying for $13M AAV. 3 Quote

Probably takes Evans and Doubs off the table. But we can still afford a mid to low tier EDGE, OLB, and safety. It depends on Knox. If he’s being released (or the cut/extension is significant), there’s still a decent amount of money available. 1 Quote
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 7 Posted March 7 A true Bill! Took one for the team. Now if we can just get our stinkin' QB to take a pay cut we could win a SB. LOL 4 Quote

The void date not being pushed is kind of wild in hindsight. I wonder if it was and just wasn’t properly reported? You’d think that $5M of cap space would have been handy. 1 1 Quote

Doc Brown Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Wow. Does this mean I can stop giving a ***** about SVG or whatever his stupid initials are? 1 13 1 Quote

It does appear he took less to stay, but very happy to keep him here Yeah I think ideally you add someone to compete with Anderson and Grable, but yeah I think Alec is the front runner I wonder if A. He didn’t really want to leave and B. He got spooked by the amount of available centers available both in Free Agency and the draft and decided to take it 1 Quote

Kelly No huddle Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Best oline in the NFL stays intact Great job beane. Top 5 center entering his prime 2 Quote
BillsPride12 Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Great news. I was worried he was a goner from the things that were being reported Quote

Allen2Moulds Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Great signing! As impactful a signing as we could've made. 2 3 Quote
MikePJ76 Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Outstanding. So relieved they did not let McGovern go. most important move of the offseason next to removing the guy whose defense gets the team beat every January. Guy had a torn left tricep, broken knuckles and torn ligaments in his right hand and played all year. 7 1 Quote
Kelly No huddle Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) He honestly could have got way more money on the open market but must love it in Buffalo I didn't expect this Great job by the from office You always got to do your best to keep high quality offensive lineman. Nobody likes drafting it high or paying it except when it's in November and it's cold and then all of a sudden fans start complaining about the offensive line Edited March 7 by Kelly to Allen 2 Quote
GolfandBills Posted March 7 Posted March 7 Wow i was expecting him to get a lot more than 13 million AAV. I was thinking 16-18 Quote
Kelly No huddle Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) Wouldn't be shocked if Edwards comes back now Edited March 7 by Kelly to Allen 1 Quote
