Kyle Purviance said Josh Allen is the only early-round quarterback he is willing to pay up for, and a lingering James Cook holdout would only strengthen that stance. Allen already produced 12 rushing TDs, 531 rushing yards, 3,700 passing yards and 28 passing TDs last season while trimming interceptions, yet Buffalo still failed to add "premier weapons"—Purviance called the receiving corps “pure shit.” That vacuum funnels more work back to Allen, and if Cook’s contract dispute forces him to miss time, the quarterback’s red-zone rushing share could climb back toward the 18-TD spike year Purviance referenced. With Keon Coleman progressing, Khalil Shakir settled in the intermediate game and Dalton Kincaid fully recovered from a PCL injury, Purviance believes Allen will once again “do more with less” and finish as the overall QB1.
