Guess Josh Allen is getting tagged... so I guess we can just count on him not being at any offseason functions or training camp. This FO wants to suck I swear.

We all knew this was how it was gonna play out. Worst case scenario is happening.
Allen plays on the tag, Jags lose Ridley…. Baalke still in charge

To be fair, he's never at OTAs anyway. I don't think he'll skip camp

Ridley is collared in some online gambling thing after signing the tag, Allen signs with the tacks, Baalke still in charge and Shad announces Gene Smith returning as Exec VP of Football Operations.
Tag Josh idc get a deal done lose Ridley oh well.
Ridley being ready to test free agency is also a leverage play for Allen's camp while he remains untagged. Why would you as Allen agree to any deal that wasn't what your top of the market expectations would be for yourself (and probably an additional premium on top) while untagged coupled with the threat of of the team potentially losing Ridley also hanging out there? Once Allen likely gets tagged and free agency begins, that leverage play is over though. Then the team has some leverage with the ability to tag him twice if need be and force Allen to shoulder the injury risk for two seasons which could potentially put his real pay day out of his grasp if the worst happens. Neither the team nor Allen should want that scenario, but if they can't reach a deal on fair compensation from both points of view that's the decision Allen will have to make. Objectively, shouldering that risk is not something he should do if the annual numbers are anywhere near the tag including the bulk of 3 years worth of guarantees. Careers can be over in a heart beat.
Schefter just said on pat Mac show, jags an Allan won’t get a deal done before and he’ll get tagged
Yeah he said they made an aggressive offer last night
Would be nice for a deal to be reached, but he won't be wrong even if they don't sign him before 4pm today.

If Baalke doesn't sign him to an extension in 2 1/2 hours, which forces them to tag him and then they also lose Ridley......
I'm not sure how they sell that to the fans.
The same way they've sold every other rotten sandwich to the fans.
I expect a deal for Allen by today's deadline. Just working out the details. This will enable them to tag Ridley.

Lots of other teams using the tag right now which means maybe they're still hammering this thing out?
As in 41 million per year?!?! Umm...that's insane unless that final total is all but unreachable. Quick someone tell his agent that he's not a QB.
