Still in Josh Allen‘s rookie-contract window, the Bills operated aggressively this offseason by adding Stefon Diggs, Josh Norman and a host of defensive linemen. They are turning their attention to extensions for some of their own players, however.
GM Brandon Beane confirmed Wednesday he has discussed long-term deals for both left tackle Dion Dawkins and linebacker Matt Milano, who share an agent.
“Matt and Dion, they have the same representative so that’s a one-call, one-stop shop,” Beane told Steve Tasker during an appearance on One Bills Live (viaNewYorkUpstate.com). “Yeah, definitely have been in contact. You know, I don’t really like to get into negotiations too much, but I’ve definitely been in contact with their representatives giving them timelines of when we would look at things like that.”
Beane hinted at the post-draft offseason period being the window for potential re-ups for Dawkins and Milano. The Bills have an additional year to work on a Tre’Davious White deal, thanks to their 2017 first-rounder having a fifth-year option in his rookie contract.
Dawkins, a 2017 second-round pick, and Milano (a fifth-rounder that year) have been key to Buffalo’s recent rise. Each has been a starter since his rookie season. Milano racked up a career-high 101 tackles last season, and Dawkins rated as a top-30 tackle last season (per Pro Football Focus).
Team screams jaguars. Great defense solid offensive weapons but the qb is holding them back from being great. Josh Allen isn’t too far off from Blake bortles better running than throwing
Have you watched the Bills games? Lol
Allen had a 20-9 TD to INT ratio last season so I would say that makes him significantly better than Bortles.
That’s a crazy comparison.
Josh Allen is a monster he’s like wentz but doesn’t get hurt but runs more then passes. Played in Wyoming so that cold weather ain’t no thang for him. In my humble opinion he reminds me of Steve young just right handed
