4 Grossly Underpaid Buffalo Bills Players Entering 2024 Season

Every offseason we talk about player contracts, especially when it comes to free agents and contract extensions. I decided to look at the Bills’ current contracts and realized that a handful of players needed new deals; However, the problem is that all four are on rookie contracts and all four will be free agents after the 2025 season. All will be vital pieces for this year’s team and beyond, plus Brandon Beane waiting to extend them will only cost the team more money in the long run.

This list includes two offensive players and two defensive players. All four could become the best player on the roster at their respective positions, and I’d say some already could. None of them are first-round picks, so there are no fifth-year options the Bills could choose. The team must either extend them over the next year or risk losing them to free agency. I hope Beane rules on these deals and doesn’t let them get even close to free agency and I get at least three of them extended over the next year.

The reasoning is simple. If you allow these guys to showcase their talent over two full seasons, their asking price will only increase. If Beane is proactive about this, he can lock them up for a few more seasons beyond their rookie contracts at a much lower cost. 2024 will be a big season for many players on this list, including Josh Allen, who we also talked about recently. This could be a career-defining season, but the same could be said of the four players I’ve listed here, as all four will play a huge role this year if Buffalo wants to have a successful season, and they will. they will also be asked to be leaders.
