I got a nice belly chuckle out of the "4 years, $88 million" and "3 years $15 million with lots of incentives" takes from those folks who though Josh Allen wouldn't command a top dollar contract.

The 4 year 88 mil post was in Oct.  Its possible we could of gotten that contract if Baalke did in season extensions so it was likely close.  As the season went on the the price raised and when Burns got his deal that was the contract we had to beat being Josh is much better than Burns.   The price in Oct. wasnt the price today.  A got a chuckle from the Josh was going to set the market and if we didnt set the mark with Allen it was going to be a bad look for this franchise.  Allen got 34.5 mil less than Bosa, thats more than a season less of Josh's annual salary, huge difference.
