They gave Bortles that extension and said he earned it... Well Ngakoue has actually earned it and they need to do right by him and pay the best young pass rusher this team has ever had.

Ngakoue is set to make $2m this season, with a total of like $4m over his entire 4 seasons. Josh Allen is likely going to double that just from his signing bonus alone and he hasn't even played a down in the NFL. You know that has to rub Ngakoue the wrong way a little bit.

For sure I'd be a little pissy if I were Yan. 

Based on the rookie pay scale, Allen is going to get $22.7m over 4 years with a $15m signing bonus......

Pretty sure it's fully guaranteed also, which just makes it that much sweeter for Allen.

They need to pay Ngakoue right now and Ramsey next off season. Don't risk pissing off two of your best players and key pieces of this team by dragging things out longer than they need to be. If they lose either of those guys to FA I'm going to lose my [BLEEP].

Ideally we keep Jack also, but Ngakoue and Ramsey are the top priorities. We simply cannot lose those two.
