Are Bills being 'risky' with Josh Allen extension talks?
There are quite a few teams in this piece that didnt make a clear-cut risky move. The Buffalo Bills are one of them. Not only are the Bills coming off a 13-win regular season (tied for the best in franchise history) and a trip to the AFC title game, but Bills GM Brandon Beane did a fine job preparing the team for another run in 2021. With that said, theres one looming piece of business still to addressand its a whopper. Yes. Josh Allen has only produced one stellar season, but after his 2020 coming-out party, there has already been talk of a megadeal for the 25-year-old. Per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, locking up Allen now rather than waiting a year could set the team up better for the future. Getting Allen signed now will not only avoid the overall market inflation at every position, but it also presents an opportunity to manufacture more cap space in those two seasons when quality cap space could be on the way. The 2023 salary cap jump could be huge, with new money from TV deals and gambling partnerships potentially providing a spike to the cap.  At this point, there is zero question Allens payday is coming. The only question is when. And the longer Buffalo waits, the more it will likely cost.
