The Buffalo Bills rewarded Josh Allen with a record-setting contract, just before free agency began, on the heels of an MVP season that came a few plays shy of a Super Bowl berth.
Allen’s new deal, a six-year contract extension, will make him the highest-paid player in the history of the sport, at $300 million which includes $250 million fully guaranteed. Only Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott makes more per year, than Allen will under the terms of his new contract.
“I wasn’t looking to absolutely kill them at every chance I could, and I told my agent that,” Allen told on Wednesday. “I was like, if it has any impact on the cap, let’s figure out a way to not do that. Both sides were willing to move and change different things and it was a pretty calm-mannered negotiation is what I can say from both sides.”
Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen
Bills quarterback Josh Allen waits for a receiver to get open during second half action of their home game against the San Francisco 49ers in Orchard Park on Dec. 1, 2024.
Last season, Allen was a catalyst for the Bills’ success and run to the AFC Championship Game, passing for 3,731 yards with 28 touchdowns to six interceptions while guiding Buffalo to an AFC East crown, and postseason wins over the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens.
This contract is a big bet on Allen as the Bills’ focal point, as much as it is as a reward for the dominant start to his career, that is now only missing that elusive Super Bowl appearance and Lombardi Trophy.
“When you kind of look back at it, the only thing missing is finishing our season with a win,” he added. “That’s really the only thing I’m thinking about, just trying to continue to get better and find a way to bring a Lombardi Trophy to western New York.”
