On Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke spoke to members of the media and boldly declared that star push rusher Josh Allen “will be a Jaguar” next season. But apparently, Josh Allen was not exactly happy about those comments.
According to a report from Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, while Josh Allen would like to remain with the Jacksonville Jaguars next season and beyond, he did not like Trent Baalke speaking to the media about his contract situation before speaking to him or his representatives about his contract situation.
“That remark didn’t sit well with Allen and his representatives. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Allen’s camp is not happy that Baalke would take time to talk to the media about Allen before taking time to Allen or his agent about Allen. Allen’s camp has been ready, willing, and waiting to engage in negotiations,” Florio wrote for Pro Football Talk on Friday morning.
There is a chance that Allen could remain with the Jaguars next season without a long-term contract as the team could decide to use a franchise tag on their star player, but it does not seem like Allen is currently very happy with the way the whole process has gone.
