Bills quarterback Josh Allen still does not have a long-term extension in his pocket. Earlier in training camp, both Allen and Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane downplayed the situation.

Beane said it’s “fine” if the QB doesn’t sign one until next summer. Allen himself mentioned how it’s “the least of his worries” last week.

But Beane has now went on to confirm on Monday that there will be a stopping point for negotiations and it’s coming soon.

“We’ll probably put a deadline on it at some point in the preseason. I don’t like to carry that stuff into the regular season,” Beane said via WGR-550 radio. “We’ll pick it up next offseason and try again.”

Beane’s comment are new, but it does confirm a report from over the weekend. Per NFL Network, there was “no momentum” toward a new contract being signed by Allen as recent as Friday.

That report also indicated that the team and QB would put a deadline on extension talks. That suggested date was on Aug. 15 and it comes just after the Bills’ first preseason game.

If we’re ballparking it, Beane’s comments and the previous report line up.

While potentially an alarming sign… it’s not.

If that deadline happens… it’s not a problem. The NFL salary cap has yet to be settled, post-COVID, for next season. Most indications are that it will go up, however, exactly how much is still in question.

Additionally, the QB is under contract through 2022 after the team picked up the fifth-year option on his rookie deal. Plenty of time for the two sides.
