Quarterback Josh Allen a Foundation for an Aging Buffalo Bills Team


As the owner of GMP Cars, LLC, Geoffrey Palermo oversees a full range of Northern California exotic-car restoration and repair locations. In his spare time, Geoffrey Palermo follows the Buffalo Bills, of which he is a longtime fan.

Now in its 60th season of the National Football League (NFL), the Bills have reached the postseason just 18 times. Following the disappointment of the most recent season, one necessity involves developing a strong offensive line to support quarterback Josh Allen, who had a breakthrough rookie season in 2018 that positioned him to be the next foundation of an aging team.

With Peyton Manning retired and Tom Brady turning 42 and heading toward the exit, Allen has the potential to become a dominant force in the American Football Conference (AFC). Heavyweight quarterbacks Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger are 37 and also eyeing the end of their careers.

A key question is whether or not the Bills, with salary-cap space of $83 million, will bring in a winning mix of veterans and new talent that will provide the defensive and offensive firepower necessary for Allen to excel.
