I would still be trying to shop Josh Allen out before the deadline. Would look to try and get a 2nd and 3rd RD pick for him. Maybe even just a first round pick if a team is willing to fork it over. Which I doubt. It's not like he's an unstoppable force off the edge. He might be more effective on a more stout or established defensive front.

I just think going into next year, this team is going to have a lot of positions to backfill. They still have to make several decisions involving Jawaan Taylor at RT, Walker Little in general, the current TE room, the WR position. Griffin at CB, etc. Tying up a big contract on Josh Allen, who, let's be honest, hasn't really show cased any level of elite pass rushing consistently since his rookie year, just isn't good business.

Ship him off. Get what you can. Maybe package some picks up in April of next year to go up and get you that WR that Lawrence needs on the outside to win the 50/50 contests or his new red zone target. Maybe land you a coveted pass catching threat at the TE position or another promising edge rusher or nose tackle. This team isn't "a few good players" away from being dominate.

They still need a lot of work done. That work has to be mostly done via the draft.
