Of course they do; Allen is a top 5 QB.
His cap hit was $10m this year. It will jump to $16m next year and then $39m, $41m, and $51m. They really needed to capitalize this year, same as we did last season. It'll only get harder to field a great team.
Now it's looking like the Bengals and Chargers are primed to be contenders with franchise QBs on rookie contracts. The Bengals specifically have like $50m in cap space for 2022. Imagine if they can pull off an OL rebuild like the one we did this offseason..
