You don't replace somebody until you already have a better replacement on the roster. Hoping that a rookie drafted in the back half of the 1st round is going to come in and be better than your 5th year vet (who's still only 25) is foolish and usually always bites you in the [BLEEP]. Especially when it's an Edge rusher and those guys take time to develop. All we'd be doing is making a weak group even weaker.

The drought of competent pass rush we experienced between Tony Brackens and the "Sacksonville" squad clearly was not educational for many fans. 
Pass rushers don't grow on trees. 

Josh Allen is a bird in hand that you hold on to - even if lots of fans have the misperception that he was "bad" in 2022. 

There are 64 guys in the league that try to affect the passer from DE or OLB getting the majority of snaps on their teams. 

Josh Allen's cumulative stats rank him around 17-23 on that list of 64 depending on whose analysis you like better. 

Why would you look to offload that??

Because people love to focus only on the sack stat and if a player doesn't put up 15 sacks per year then he clearly must be a bad player lol.

I said it months ago at the trade deadline that it'd be a bad decision to get rid of him and I'll continue to say it. We will regret it if they don't extend him and let him walk after next season.

And don't get me wrong, even if they extend him now, I'm still all for going pass rusher with pick 24. You can simply never have enough of them and we need more depth regardless.
