Crazy Legs Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 The Bills did sign Matt Barkley to the Practice Squad, but have no backup QB currently on the roster since Case Keenum is a Free Agent. Kyle Allen is only 27 years old, has some starting game experience, and might come cheap. (Plus he played for Carolina....) In addition, Josh Allen and Kyle Allen know each other pretty well. In fact, they rented a place together during Covid in Southern California while working out with Jordan Palmer. They continue to both work with Palmer, and sometimes golf together. If the Bills can get him for about $2.5-$3 million as Josh's backup, he would be good value.

The Chosen Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Why is he worth that much money? Is he capable of holding the team together if Josh goes down? He's no more than an emergency 3rd stringer if you ask me. Done nothing in the league to warrant millions. Quote Crowded elevators smell different to midgets............

bcw Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 He got paid just under $2.5 million last year so that should be close to what he would cost. We could do worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if you listen to his podcast and got these ideas of free agents planted in your head or if you just come up with then yourself, but all of the “free agent target” posts that you make match what Joe Marino of Locked on Bills has in his mock Bills offseason. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-bills-daily-podcast-on-the-buffalo-bills/id1145479962?i=1000603238473 I personally listen to every one of his podcasts. I am a numbers guy and think Joe provides a lot more of that in his analysis than any other commentator I’ve heard. I do appreciate your posts about the Bills keep them coming.

Victor7 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Not a bad idea at backup. What's the deal with Trubisky in Pitt ? They keeping him or is he out. Wouldn't mind having him back either. By now he must be aware that he's just not going to be a starter and should not come with a huge price tag. 1 Quote Bills fan for life!! ................

Kyle is: a) An experienced backup, (5 years), that is a plus b) He has started a few NFL games, (he started 12 games in 2019 and 4 in 2020), that is a plus c) He works out with Josh Allen in the off season, that is a plus d) He should come cheap, that is a plus Of course, at that price you are not going to get Joe Montana. Kyle Allen is not a starter. You hope he never plays. 2 Quote OLine 2023 Draft Prospects Steve Avila, 6'3" 333 lbs_____John M Schmitz, 6'4", 320lbs_______Darnell Wright, 6'6", 335lbs, Joe Tippman, 6'6" 315lbs____Matthew Bergeron, 6'5" 323lbs_____Anton Harrison, 6'4", 315lbs Top30 Pre-Draft Visitors Private Workouts DT Gervon Dexter___OG O'Cyrus Torrence _RB Tyjae Spears DT Jaquelin Roy_____WR Tank Dell____________________Virtual Zoom OL Juice Suggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Legs Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Case Keenum is going to sign with the Texans on Wednesday. We need a backup QB. Kyle Allen is a backup QB.

Crazy Legs Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 I think it was a deal for $2.5 million a year. Probably the lowest QB contract so far in Free Agency.

Crazy Legs Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Per @AaronWilson_NFL , the #Bills gave Kyle Allen a 1 year contract worth $1.232M. $350K guaranteed $100K signing bonus $1.08M salary This is why the Bills signed him. Doesn't even cost against the Cap. Meanwhile, Jacoby Brissett just signed for 1 year, $8 million, fully guaranteed. 1 Quote OLine 2023 Draft Prospects Steve Avila, 6'3" 333 lbs_____John M Schmitz, 6'4", 320lbs_______Darnell Wright, 6'6", 335lbs, Joe Tippman, 6'6" 315lbs____Matthew Bergeron, 6'5" 323lbs_____Anton Harrison, 6'4", 315lbs Top30 Pre-Draft Visitors Private Workouts DT Gervon Dexter___OG O'Cyrus Torrence _RB Tyjae Spears DT Jaquelin Roy_____WR Tank Dell____________________Virtual Zoom OL Juice Suggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like an average back up being paid at a 3rd qb rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
