Buffalo trading Josh Allen: Anyone who thinks so must be bonkers
Former NFL wide receiver and FS1 analyst predicts Buffalo Bills may trade Stefon Diggs but advises against trading quarterback Josh Allen.
During a recent segment, former NFL wide receiver and FS1 Speak analyst James Jones expressed his thoughts on the Buffalo Bills' championship window and the future of the franchise. Rumors have been circulating about Stefon Diggs' unhappiness, and after Monday night's loss and his brother Trevon's live tweet session, it seems that Diggs' time in Buffalo may be coming to an end. Jones also suggested that the Bills may move on from Josh Allen as the team's franchise centerpiece.
The potential departure of Diggs seems likely, with many potential suitors waiting to acquire his talent once the season ends. However, the situation with Allen is more complex. The Bills have spent two decades searching for a quarterback to fill the shoes of Jim Kelly, and while Allen isn't perfect, he possesses significant talent at the position. Despite leading the league in interceptions, he is also tied for the lead in touchdown passes.
Trading Allen would likely be a decision that the Bills would come to regret. At 27 years old, Allen still has many productive years ahead of him. Jones also mentioned the possibility of the organization bringing in a new head coach, as the window with Sean McDermott leading the way seems to have closed. It may be time to bring in an offensive coach to lead Allen and the team in a new direction.
The drama and lack of chemistry on offense indicate that changes need to be made. If Diggs no longer wants to be in Buffalo, the Bills should consider granting him his wish, acquiring draft picks in return, and moving on from the situation. However, the talk of trading Allen seems premature. Franchise quarterbacks are hard to come by, and the Bills should not consider moving on from Allen unless they have a sure thing lined up to replace him.
The Bills still have a team full of talent on both sides of the ball, and while some changes are necessary, it is too soon to consider trading Allen. The franchise should focus on finding a new coach to lead the team and work towards resolving the issues on offense. Overall, it is essential for the Bills to carefully evaluate their next steps and make decisions that will benefit the future of the franchise.
