The Facts: After three seasons, Allen is eligible for a second contract. The Bills want to get that done and plan to get that done. But a contract extension for Allen is not imminent. GM Brandon Beane on Thursday repeated the same thing he said during an appearance on The Cris Collinsworth Podcast last month: The team is focused on free agency and the draft and will get to Allen's future after that.
Diehards Line:
"Yeah, [Allen] said he was going to give us a nice hometown discount, and hopefully we'll get him done. ... No, in all seriousness, we'll talk to Josh and his people later in the spring, get through the draft where we can just focus on that," Beane said. "That's obviously a big financial commitment that you have to make. That will probably be sometime May through the summer. I don't know. ..." As PFT notes, the contract Dak Prescott recently signed with the Cowboys likely now drives the market, with Prescott remaining in Dallas long term with a four-year, $160 million deal.
