Can the AFC East ever just be open?

I'm not worried. You will NEVER see another guy like Brady who can lead a team to 20 years of dominance. The Bills will last 4-5 years at most before their team falls apart. Allen is good but I don't think he's good enough to carry a bad team.

Brady didn't carry bad teams. The Pats as a team were good for 20 straight years. They had completely different versions of dominant teams over their dynasty run. They did it by Brady taking a lower salary than he was really worth and drafting/signing/developing well. The Bills are trying to win with that same model (minus the low salary QB). As good as Allen has been they have found a bunch of core players in the draft - White, Milano, Taron Johnson, Edmunds, Oliver, Knox, Rousseau, Dawkins, Spencer Brown... They are building a pipeline of talent with new guys always ready to step up and replace veterans. If they keep drafting that well they can let guys walk in free agency and let a young guy take over without missing a beat, and collect comp picks for the privilege. Plus the way QB deals are structured now you really take the worst of it in the first couple years. In year 4 of Allen's extension when the salary cap will be at least $40 million higher his contract will look like a bargain.
