Josh Allen is officially in the fold. On Wednesday, Allen inked his four-year rookie contract with the Bills.
Allen’s negotiations took a while, but a deal was expected to happen this week as there were no signs of acrimony between him and the club. In accordance with his slot, Allen will earn about $21.2MM over the course of his four-year rookie contract.
The Bills went into the draft hoping to land their quarterback of the future, but refused to part with both of their first-round picks in order to make that happen. Their position paid off, as they were able to land the Buccaneers’ No. 7 pick in exchange for their No. 12 choice plus two second-round selections.
It’s expected that Allen will learn from the bench this year – at least, to start the year – behind free agent pickup A.J. McCarron. While Allen’s arm strength is definitely NFL caliber, the belief is that he’ll need some seasoning before taking the reins.
He’ll be one of the worst quarterback coming out of this years draft to go along Sam darnold if he plays over Mccown or bridgewater, and bill were stupid to trade their best quarterback in years since Jim Kelly
That is a long sentence. I guess this says that Allen and Darnold will be lousy QBs. I guess that Darnold stinking is contingent on him actually playing. In addition, Tyrod Taylor was the best QB the Bills have had since Jim Kelly and they were stupid to trade him.
Well coach playicy…..thought we had a chance. Where did u get ur stats from, Barnum and bailey?
Anyone who thinks they can determine whether or not someone will be good or bad are full of crap!
There are professional scouts who can’t say with certainty.
Now if you want to be a drama queen and complain they your favorite QB then go for it
Except there really isnt a body of exceptional work to judge Allen favorably by.
He couldn’t dominate in college. Why do we think that will change in the NFL?
….Especially on the Bills roster the way it is currently.
Rosen was a better gamble.
