The Buffalo Bills<\/a> will be a fascinating watch this offseason, and in fact, general manager Brandon Beane might be the most under pressure person in the NFL over the next few months.<\/p>\n

Why? Because he somehow got a promotion after Buffalo was dumped out of the playoffs, and now it is in\u00a0his hands at the wheel of the football department. And that means getting his quarterback a top receiving weapon, something he’s failed to do over the past few seasons.<\/p>\n

With the Bills close to Super Bowl contention, getting Allen a genuine weapon has to be the priority for Beane, but how does he do it?<\/p>\n

NFL.com’s Matt Okada has one way. Move on from Curtis Samuel and fan favorite Dawson Knox to free up between $15 and $18 million in cap savings.<\/p>\n

“GM Brandon Beane has struggled to find the right offensive pieces to properly support his all-world QB, and chief among his misses were Samuel and Knox,” Okada wrote<\/a>. “Dumping one (or both) would go a long way to arming Buffalo for a run at a true No. 1 receiver.”<\/p>\n

Should Bills go all out for WR?<\/p>\n

Moving on from Samuel and Knox is one way to do it, but let’s not forget, fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid has struggled with his health, having not played a full season in any of his three years.<\/p>\n

So, Knox is a nice safety blanket for Allen, but if he is moved on, that goes away.<\/p>\n

But is it worth it if Josh gets someone like A.J. Brown or Tyreek Hill? Some would say so.<\/p>\n

However, this is the corner the Bills have pushed themselves into over the past couple of seasons by not properly fixing the problem.<\/p>\n

And now, to find a solution, a fan favorite might have to pay the price.<\/p>\n
