NFL - The Athletic on Josh Allen

ArticleNFL Newsletter: What does it mean to be 'all-in' in the NFL?Captured July 6, 2026

From the article

I am yet to see the Bills going all in on any season. So despite spending nearly as much as any team, Buffalo needs to trade multiple first-round picks before I consider them "all in" during Josh Allen's championship window.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Bills haven't gone all-in during Allen's window; need more moves.

The source argues that despite the Bills spending nearly as much as any team, Buffalo has not gone all-in on any season during Allen's championship window. The source states that Buffalo would need to trade multiple first-round picks before being considered truly all-in, suggesting the team's spending approach lacks the aggressive win-now commitment of true contenders.
