Buffalo Bills Quarterback Allen agrees record contract worth £255m that will make him one of the highest-paid players in NFL history.
Buffalo Bills Quarterback Allen agrees record contract
Josh Allen, the NFL’s Most Valuable Player for the 2024 season, will receive a guaranteed $250m (£193m), according to reports.
Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes signed a $450m (£349m) 10-year deal with the club in 2020.
The largest guaranteed figure in NFL history
But the reported £193m Allen will receive is the largest guaranteed figure paid to any NFL player in the history of the sport, eclipsing the $231m (£179m) guaranteed to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
Allen’s new deal comes after an impressive season in which he led the Bills to AFC Championship game, where they lost to the Chiefs.
Last season, Allen totalled 41 touchdowns – 28 passing, 12 rushing, one receiving – as the Bills scored 30-plus points in 12 games in 2024, tied for the second-most games with 30-plus points by a team in a season in NFL history.
Allen, 28, will receive an average of $55m (£42m) per season under his new contract.
