Fresh off an AP NFL MVP season in 2024, Allen has once again made NFL history
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has agreed to a new, NFL-record six-year, $330 million contract that includes $250 million guaranteed, per ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter. The new deal keeps Allen playing quarterback for the Bills through the 2030 NFL season. The $250 million guaranteed is “the largest guarantee ever given to an NFL player, sources tell ESPN,” per Schefter.
With Allen winning 2024 AP NFL MVP in February, the timing for a new contract couldn’t be more perfect. News of Allen signing a new deal has been anticipated for some time, due to him playing well below the current market value for his position. He was set to make just $14.5 million in cash for 2025, and his average salary per season came in at $43 million (placing him 14th among NFL QBs).
Operating under the parameters of Allen’s previous contract, Matt Warren had earlier discussed that QB17’s cap hit was set to be the largest to this point of his career. Though the finer details of Allen’s new deal are not yet available, it’s not clear that his cap hit will be lower than it was under the prior contract’s structure.
In addition to his new NFL contract, Josh Allen has also stepped into the arena of content production.
