Josh Allen has officially signed a six-year, $330 million contract extension with the Buffalo Bills, making him one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in NFL history. This record-breaking deal includes $200 million in guaranteed money, surpassing previous contracts held by Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, and Joe Burrow.
The contract extension, first reported by NFL.com, solidifies Allen’s future in Buffalo, ensuring he remains the face of the franchise. The deal makes him the highest-paid player in Bills history and among the top earners in the NFL.
According to CNN, the Bills’ front office prioritized keeping Allen long-term after he led the team to multiple playoff appearances and won NFL MVP honors last season. With four consecutive AFC East titles and a growing reputation as one of the league’s most dominant quarterbacks, Buffalo saw this extension as a crucial move in securing its Super Bowl aspirations.
Allen’s extension outpaces Joe Burrow’s five-year, $275 million contract and Lamar Jackson’s $260 million deal, both of which were previously the highest among NFL quarterbacks. Analysts at USA Today noted that this contract cements Allen’s legacy as a cornerstone of Buffalo’s future.
Allen expressed his excitement about staying in Buffalo, stating, “This city means everything to me. We’ve built something special, and I can’t wait to bring a championship home.”
With this record-setting deal, Allen now joins the ranks of the highest-paid quarterbacks in history, reaffirming his value to the franchise and setting the stage for what Bills fans hope will be a Super Bowl-winning era.
