Keeping Josh Allen is really going to come down to the price tag for me. I don't feel that he's worth more than $10M per year. If his cap hit hovers around the $7.5M - $9.5M per year range I would be content. I just don't want this team getting tied up to where they're paying him $12.5M - $15M per year. Doesn't make any sense.

We invested a boat load of money this off season on defense. Here's my problem. That money was supposed to help ENABLE Allen to be BETTER this year. This was supposed to help him create more plays, create more opportunities and it's been very, very hit or miss. Just frustrating. My argument is that, everyone here keeps arguing that Lawrence needs a "dog" or an "alpha" at receiver on the outside.

You're going to need some draft picks to make some moves to go and get that potentially. This defense has been a liability this year over the last four weeks. Allen plays a hand in that. What if we did have that receiver on the outside that clearly separates or gets downfield? Would you rather have Josh Allen's "Top ten pass rushing" statistics, which, don't translate to actual sacks, forced fumbles or real impact plays.

Or, would you rather have a receiver like Jamar Chase, DaVante Adams, Tyreek Hill, D.K Metcalf or DeAndre Hopkins that is giving your team those extra 7.0 or 10.0 PPG that this team needs. We don't have that right now. We're hoping it'll be Travis Etienne. But, he's out of the backfield. Still has a lot to prove. We're going to need more than that going into next year.
