Quarterback Carousel 2029 [Josh Allen Contact Extension Thread]

Does he routinely not grip the ball by the laces?

My guess is this is one of those "quick WR screen" passes because the corner is giving a big cushion.  Generally the QB just rips it out there as quick as possible to give the WR a better chance to juke the first defender and if he's in the gun, he wouldn't have received the ball with the laces in the best position.

Mostly a rehash article, but it is still intriguing to see who of the three goes first, and how that impacts the other two.

 

Will Browns wait another year to extend Baker Mayfield?
 

The Browns say they’re sold on quarterback Baker Mayfield. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re ready to pay his price.
 

</snip>
 

In May, Browns G.M. Andrew Berry declined to characterize the contracts given by the Rams and Eagles to Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, respectively, after three seasons in the NFL as cautionary tales. While Wentz’s regression in the second year after signing his second contract potentially falls into the “sh-t happens” folder, the Rams clearly shouldn’t have paid Goff what they paid him when they paid him — and the extra first-round pick they tucked into the Matthew Stafford trade to get the Lions to assume the Goff deal confirms it.
 

Our position on quarterback second contracts remains simple. If the team knows he’s the long-term answer at the position, pay him as soon as he becomes eligible for that deal or, if that realization comes after the final game of the player’s third regular season (that’s when he becomes eligible for a second deal), the moment the light bulb flickers on.
 

For the Browns, that’s the real question. Do they believe Mayfield is the guy? Are they ready to give Mayfield the kind of cap commitment that will complicate the effort to put a team around him? Is he the kind of quarterback whose mere presence elevates the rest of the team, or is he a quarterback who simply benefits from a team of all-stars that the Browns continued to build around him?
 

</snip>
 

In making that assessment, one key ingredient becomes critical: What Mayfield wants. Does he want $30 million per year? Is it $35 million annually? Or maybe $40 million? Does he want top-of-market money ($45 million) without the Mahomesian 12-year commitment?
 

Mayfield lacks no confidence. That’s critical to succeeding in the NFL. His extreme confidence could cause him to want more from the Browns than they’re willing to pay, however. That could result in the Browns waiting another year.

Video: McDermott weighs in on Josh Allen’s contract extension 

 

Article

 

“These things handle themselves,” Bills coach Sean McDermott told the NFL Network on Wednesday. “They work themselves out when you’ve got two parties that want to be together and have the same end goal in mind. So, Josh is a great young talent, and he fits just so well with Buffalo and the city and the town and the people of Buffalo. I firmly believe it’s going to work itself out.”

i haver said it before...give him the Mahome's contract if he will take it....throw in a sweetener somewhere so he and his agent can say highest-paid player ever...

 

That Mahomes deal is SOOOO team-friendly...and gives the Chiefs massive outs if they need it..

 

We don't want the Watson deal..4 years only, media money going up in next 3 years ...have to do this dance again so soon.

 

Wonder when the first percent of cap deal gets done..if that's even legal

At the presser, he said he just wants to be the best player, best QB he can be. The contract is the least of his worries, he's here to win a Super Bowl.
