Unless I'm misunderstanding something, it's more costly for the Jags to sign him than it would be for a new team to sign him.  If so, that means it's almost certain he doesn't sign here.  If he does well he will get more money from a new team, not from the Jags, right?

Not necessarily. I think the jags play will be to tag him.  This would retain him another year but they only have to give ATL a 3

I don't think they can afford to tag him while leaving Josh Allen wide open to the market coming off of what will undoubtedly be his best season to date. He's on pace to set the new single-season franchise mark in sacks. 

Unless they hammer something out quickly it's just too risky in my opinion. This is going to be an interesting off-season in just four months from now. A lot of decisions to make. 

Josh Allen
Calvin Ridley
Cam Robinson

Then, you have to start looking at other contract extensions. Little, Cisco, Cleveland, Campbell, Williams, etc. Hoping like hell this team wins it all in February. After that? I can stomach or accept anything they decide to roster wise short of trading Lawrence away for whatever crazy, stupid cosmic reason.
