If the Bills and Allen decide to part ways, New York is the odds-on favorite to sign the star quarterback.
The Buffalo Bills suffered another painful playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, and while it is not impossible for the Bills to win a Super Bowl in the coming years, it will become much more difficult to do so when Josh Allen’s salary cost rises significantly in 2024 and beyond.
Josh Allen’s cap hit is going to jump to $47.1 million next season for the Bills compared to the $18.6 million they were on the hook for in the 2023 season. The Bills had Allen’s cap hit at $4.8 million in 2019, when they lost in the Wild Card game, then it jumped up to $5.9 million in 2020.
With that, there are whispers that the Bills could look to either restructure Allen’s contract or even consider trading the star quarterback.
If Allen does end up getting moved, the Giants are considered the favorites to land Allen at +225, per Bovada. Just behind the Giants are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos, and New Orleans Saints at +600. The Indianapolis Colts, Oakland Raiders, and Atlanta Falcons all have +800 odds to be the team that Allen suits up for next season if not with the Bills.
Last season, the Giants faced with numerous quarterback injuries. Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor both fell down, leaving Tommy DeVito as New York’s starting quarterback.
The Giants ended 6-11 last season and had several coaching changes. The team fired special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey, offensive line coach Bobby Johnson, outside linebacker coach Drew Wilkins, and defensive assistant Kevin Wilkins. Shortly after these moves, Wink Martindale, the Giants’ defensive coordinator, left on bad terms.
