Pay him now rather than wait and pay much more later. Smart teams do this all the time.

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.  It looks like the right move NOW, after he increased his sack total from 2.5, 7.5, and 7.0 to 17.5.  I don't think anyone would have supported giving Allen a ~$25M per year contract, after the 7 sack season.

That's the point lol I was also one of the ones advocating for signing Josh Allen last off season.

Allen got 88 million guaranteed this season after getting 17.5 sacks. Don't you think they could have got him for around 75 million guaranteed last off season? Save yourself some money?

The Eagles just gave Devonta Smith an extension before players like Lamb, JJ and Chase get their extension. Get in early so you don't have to pay a premium.

Trevor will be a Jaguar. There is absolutely no question about it. It's better to give him a deal now than to wait and watch it blow up in their face next summer.
