Brandon Beane knows what it takes to win in this league, and it sounds like he's willing to do whatever it takes to get the Buffalo Bills to their ultimate goal. He's done it before, and this year, he might just do it again.
”This is a guy who was ‘overrated,’ right?” Beane said of the 2024 poll that listed Allen as the NFL’s most overrated quarterback following the 2023 season. “In all seriousness, that’s how our training camp day started. Josh asked me the question. And we were getting into the overrated [discussion] to the guy who won MVP.”
Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane has made it clear he wants to keep James Cook, but the money has to be right.
In addition to filling the vacant starting spot that Douglas occupied in 2024, the Bills could also choose to address Benford's contract status by working out a long-term extension. The 2022 sixth-round draft pick is entering the final season on his rookie deal and will likely command a substantial pay raise if allowed to hit the open market.
Buffalo Bills receiver Khalil Shakir has agreed to a four-year contract extension worth up to $60.2 million that locks him up through the 2029 season.
