Allen had four years left on his current deal. He will now be with the team through the 2030 season. Allen, who will make $55 million a season, is now among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league with his new deal. Only Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, who earns $60 million a season, will bring in more.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson had the previous guaranteed record with his $230 million deal. Only Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a deal worth more with his $450 million contract.
While the deal didn’t need to get done, it’s easy to see why the Bills moved to reward their quarterback after this past season. Allen, who won his first career MVP award, led the team to a fifth consecutive division title and back to the AFC Championship game for the second time in the past five seasons. He’s thrown for more touchdowns than any other quarterback in Bills history, and he threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns. He had another 12 rushing touchdowns, too.
Allen, who the Bills took with the No. 7 overall pick in 2018, has more wins, total touchdowns and total yards by any player in their first seven seasons in the league in history.
This post will be updated with more information shortly.
