I don't buy it. Josh Allen was getting handled in his 1 Vs 1 in the clots loss on the road and for the most part was quiet against the Giants, who also had a banged up offensive line.

He's a groundhog pass rusher. That's all he's done over the last three years since his rookie season. He'll show up once per year and have a really, really good game and then you will barely hear anything out of him before that game and after that game. 

Just not impressed anymore. Getting close to the QB is not the same as getting to the QB. He's not forcing any fumbles, he's not destroying QB's for yardage, he's not really moving the needle all that much. 

Might as well flip him now for a potential offensive player going into next year. We know what this offense wants to do now. It's all about speed, speed and more speed. They want big, explosive plays. They want chunk plays. They want Lawrence slinging it 40 times per game. That's fine. Just get him the tools he needs to elevate his play and you can build a lead and scheme up things differently defensively. 

Tying up your cap hit percentage in the double digits for a guy that's only had double digit sacks once, going back to his rookie year, is just foolish. He's not one of the Bosa's. He's not TJ Watt. He's not Cameron Jordan. Hell, he's not even a Chandler Jones in his prime. I would trade him now and sign a stop gap pass rusher next year if that's much of a concern to this fanbase with a guy that's on the roster now, essentially doing NOTHING.

Trading away a RB that wasn't going to be here next year and an overrated "pass rusher" is not a fire sale. R-E-L-A-X. 2 - 5 with those guys on the roster by the way. So, there's that.
