Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Josh Allen Signs Record-Breaking Contract Extension with Buffalo Bills
Caption: Josh Allen Signs Record-Breaking Contract Extension with Buffalo Bills. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has signed a contract extension until 2030 worth up to $330m (£255m), making him one of the highest-paid players in NFL history. Allen’s contract includes a record-breaking $250m (£193m) in guaranteed money, surpassing the $231m (£179m) guaranteed to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. While Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes signed a $450m (£349m) 10-year deal in 2020, Allen’s guaranteed figure now stands as the highest in league history. Allen, the 2024 NFL Most Valuable Player, secured the deal after leading the Bills to the AFC Championship game, where they were ultimately defeated by the Chiefs. During the 2024 season, Allen contributed 41 total touchdowns—28 passing, 12 rushing, and one receiving—as the Bills scored 30-plus points in 12 games, tying the second-most in NFL history. Under the new contract, Allen will earn an average of $55m (£42m) per season, making him the second-highest-paid player in the league behind Prescott, who averages $60m (£47m) annually. The deal ensures that Allen remains the face of the franchise for the foreseeable future, keeping him in Buffalo until at least 2030. Buffalo’s investment signals their long-term commitment to Allen, hoping he will lead the team to their first-ever Super Bowl title. With quarterback salaries skyrocketing, Allen’s deal reinforces the growing trend of massive contracts in the NFL’s most valuable position. As Allen prepares for the upcoming season, expectations will be high for the Bills to capitalize on their star quarterback’s historic extension and push for a championship.
