Josh Allen Wins Big with Bills ‘Most Underrated' Receiver
The Buffalo Bills were able to make it to the AFC Championship this past season. While they were once again taken down by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, they still had a very solid season.
And it was due in no small part to some solid play from their offensive weapons.

In a recent article by PFF's Jonathon Macri, he outlines who he thinks is the most underrated player on every team. For the reigning AFC East champions, he thinks that player is wide receiver Khalil Shakir.
"Shakir has been a stable contributor for the Bills' receiving corps over the past two seasons, and he stepped up significantly in 2024 in Stefon Diggs' absence, leading the team in targets, receiving yards, PFF receiving grade, and yards per route run," Macri writes. "Shakir placed in the top 25 for the position in all of those categories."
Losing a player like Diggs should take a toll on a team, but Josh Allen clearly did not miss a beat, as he won the NFL Most Valuable Player Award this past season.
A key factor in him being able to do this was the solid play of Shakir. He finished the year with 821 yards and four touchdowns, showing that the Bills are more than just Allen getting it done with his legs.

Shakir and the rest of the Bills will be looking to get to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1994, and win the Lombardi Trophy for the first time in franchise history.

Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy Dealt Josh Allen Comparison by Former Bills Teammate
Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy Dealt Josh Allen Comparison by Former Bills Teammate originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On the surface, there's a clear contrast between Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy and reigning MVP Josh Allen. Advertisement At 6-foot-5, 237 pounds, Allen's frame has made him one of the toughest players to tackle at the position and a runaway freight train in the open field. He's averaged 591.8 rushing yards per game in his career, exploiting his size and speed to find success in the NFL. McCarthy, standing 6-foot-3 and roughly 215 pounds, is of a smaller ilk at quarterback who will look to thrive playing primarily inside the pocket and behind the line of scrimmage. However, physical traits don't always translate to the NFL level. Defensive tackle Harrison Phillips, who spent four seasons with the Allen and the Buffalo Bills, said he sees some more important similarities between McCarthy and Allen.

Advertisement 'He's got some confidence, and he reminds me of like Josh Allen when I was with him in Buffalo coming into his own and understanding the power that he has to lead this organization, and he's doing a fantastic job,' Phillips told Minnesota Star Tribune reporter Emily Leiker. McCarthy's maturity and leadership have seemingly been his greatest strengths early in his career, especially after he was dealt devastating news that he would miss his rookie season due to a torn meniscus. The 22-year-old quarterback did not treat it like a year lost. He was diligent in studying film, chasing down teammates and coaches around the Vikings' team facilities to get clarity, and has rehabbed his body back into shape.

No longer playing catch-up, McCarthy appears even better equipped to be the team's starter after being selected 10th overall in the 2024 draft. "Everyone wants to be perfect, especially at the quarterback position, but the more you try to be perfect, it's going to kill you more than your imperfections will. And I feel like just being able to accept, in these learning and teaching phases, that it's OK to fail and try things and go out there and take risks," McCarthy said last week. "As long as you do that, whatever's down the road is going to come when it comes."

Eagles DC Delivers Confident Message After Critical Losses
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For the Philadelphia Eagles, winning the trenches has been a primary reason behind their success in the past. That was especially true during the team's most recent run, which was capped off with a Super Bowl victory. The Eagles' offensive line won't have a ton of turnover heading into the 2025 NFL season. The same can't be said for the defensive side. Oftentimes, winning comes at a great cost. The Eagles witnessed their pass rush feast on Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl just months ago, but they also witnessed teams line up to pay some of the free agents, causing some Philadelphia stars to walk out the door. A little worry would only make the Eagles human. The team's defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, recently fielded questions about the state of his defensive line. The Eagles prepared for the cost of success, and Fangio remains confident in his team's ability to stay strong after some key losses in free agency. "I feel good about Nolan [Smith]. "I think we'll feel good about Jalyx [Hunt] now that he's gonna get a lot of reps and develop," Fangio told reporters, according to Pro Football Talk. "He played good for us down the stretch last year, and played a lot, as you saw, so I feel good about those two guys, and I think they'll continue to improve." Brandon Graham #55 and Josh Sweat #94 of the Philadelphia Eagles react against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on November 5, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Brandon Graham #55 and Josh Sweat #94 of the Philadelphia Eagles react against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on November 5, 2023 in Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaBeyond the obvious replacements, the Eagles are encouraged by the depth. "We've got [Josh] Uche, we've got Azeez [Ojulari], we've got three other guys there. I think we'll be fine." Josh Sweat, a homegrown defensive lineman for the Eagles, took his talents to the Arizona Cardinals. He leaves the Eagles with 104 regular-season games under his belt. He collected 43 sacks over that time, including nearly three in this past postseason. The 2021 third-rounder, Milton Williams, is another player who cashed out this offseason. Since his rookie season, Williams has played in 67 games, with 19 starts. He collected 132 tackles (25 for a loss), 11.5 sacks, and nearly 30 hits on opposing QBs. Williams leaves the Eagles for a run with the New England Patriots. Beyond the younger players who picked up a big payday, the Eagles also lost their seasoned veteran, Brandon Graham, to retirement. Eventually, Graham's age caught up to him throughout the 2024 NFL season, but without injuries he was still quite productive. The Eagles will face a ton of tests in 2025, and how they perform up front on defense will be the biggest question heading into the new year. It's easy to assume that all will be right for Fangio's unit, but the Eagles don't see a reason to be overly concerned at this time.

Lamar Jackson Faces Backlash for Big $1.5 Million Decision
Lamar Jackson Faces Backlash for Big $1.5 Million Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Ravens have wrapped up voluntary OTAs, and the most noticeable absence was star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who chose to skip the sessions for the second consecutive year. Advertisement That decision carries financial consequences due to the structure of Jackson's contract. Much like the approach often used by the Dallas Cowboys, the deal Jackson signed in 2023 includes annual $750,000 workout bonuses in 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027. To earn each bonus, Jackson is required to attend at least 80% of the team's offseason workouts. Now, after missing workouts for a second straight year, Jackson has forfeited a total of $1.5 million in potential bonus money. Jackson has faced backlash from fans who believe he should be attending workouts, especially after multiple playoff exits. A fan said, "Maybe they'd beat the Chiefs if he gave a [explicit]." Advertisement Someone else added, "Why did his 'agent' allow that money to be put into workouts he had no intention of attending?" Another fan posted, "Another example of why he will never win a Super Bowl. Tom Brady never missed these workouts btw, and he was levels above you pal." "He should never complain about a contract ever again. If you can afford to not collect 1.5 million," one more fan commented. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (8).Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images Showing up to voluntary workouts or not has not noticeably affected Jackson's on-field performance, as he has consistently been one of the NFL's best players year after year. That said, as the leader of a franchise, there are expectations that come with the role. When you don't have the ultimate goal—a Lombardi Trophy—to show for it, especially when your peers like Patrick Mahomes do, it naturally invites some criticism and heat.
