Show Notes
The Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen both expressed confidence in the ability to hammer out a long-term contract extension. Turns out, both sides were right to not be worried about agreeing to a contract extension that will keep Buffalo’s All Pro quarterback, the face of the franchise, in Western New York for the foreseeable future.
On a breaking news episode of Billieve, host John Boccacino dissects the contract extension, which is worth $258 million with $150 million guaranteed over six years. It will keep Allen with the Bills through the 2027 season.
Allen, the first QB from the 2018 class to sign a long-term extension, will be paid an average of $43 million per year (and $25 million per year guaranteed).
Boccacino shares why this deal makes sense for both Allen and the Bills, why it is great news to have a deal in place before the season starts (removing a potential distraction), and how the if Allen plays as well as he did in 2020, this contract will be seen as a relative bargain. Especially when compared to the four-year, $160M extension given to Dak Prescott.
