The Buffalo Bills won against the Miami Dolphins in the NFL Wild Card Round. They moved up to play in the NFL Divisional Round against the Cincinnati Bengals. As the Bills prepare to play against the Bengals, they also made a huge roster move that involves the BFF of Josh Allen.

Buffalo earned the favors of many and are the favorites to win the Super Bowl this year after their impressive win over the ‘Phins. Even though they have played with a powerful roster throughout the season, they made several changes as they prepared for the divisional-round game. And now they brought other important changes to the team. But this may not sit will with the starting QB of the team.

Gentry and Allen attended the University of Wyoming and have been great friends since their time together there. The former was the 26-year-old’s number-one wide receiver. He has also been part of the Bills practice squad or active roster since 2020.

Gentry was also summoned to the team’s active squad twice this season. However, because of the presence of veterans Cole Beasley and John Brown, he could not play a lot.

The move comes just a few games before the Super Bowl. It is assumed that the decision will probably not make Allen thrilled. But there is hope that his friend will resign with the team again because they released and resigned him twice last year. Therefore, fans will have to wait and see if the team lets him go permanently or temporarily.

For now, Josh Allen will have to depend on the sixth-round pick of the Colts. In his NFL career, he has four receptions on 10 targets for 45 yards and a score.
