Josh Allen, the NFL 2024 MVP, is about to rock the greatest guaranteed amount in the history of the league.
Several reports on Sunday evening say that the Buffalo bills Tear the current Allen contract which would transport it throughout the 2028 season and now have it locked up for six years, until 2030, an extension of $ 330 million which earns $ 250 million in guaranteed cash.
Which breaks the record for ridiculous $ 230 million Cleveland Browns gave Deshaun Watson a few years ago.
In addition, the average annual value of Allen is now equal to the second row with $ 55 million with Burrow, Trevor Lawrence from Jacksonville and Jordan Love from Green Bay. Still n ° 1 in this category is Dak Prescott of Dallas at $ 60 million per year.
At the NFL Scouting combines, the director general Brandon Beane has thought about Allen’s victory for the MVP Prize and what it means for the franchise and the fans base.
“Yeah it was great,” said Beane. “Great for Josh first and above all and his family. It was cool for Sean (McDermott), myself, Terry (Pegula) to make us pass to be there and support him for this moment. I mean nobody has worked harder. He was a guy who was overrated, right? We had entered the surface, to a guy who won the MVP.
“So cool for Buffalo, however. Having been there eight years now and feel like a buffalo myself, as just to feel the buzz in the city. It was a kind of pretty pick-up for our city and our team for failing (in playoffs) because we don’t take this light. So that Josh does that, I know that our players were excited, our team, our fans, so I am happy for him. “”
Always with the combine harvester, McDermott shared his reflections on the MVP vote.
“This validates everything he has done for years,” said McDermott. “This validates his leadership this year, the way he played on the field this season, the way he won the field, on the ground, his decision -making and how it is improved. So, all these areas that have been perceived, call it gaps, Josh responded to these shortcomings and he committed these shortcomings. And when you do this at the level where he did it on a coherent basis, the result was the MVP. And so for me, as I said, during the year, later in the year in particular, he deserved it, all this price. »»
Allen was to have $ 44.7 million on the Buffalo salary ceiling in 2025, and although the figures are not yet available, this number will probably decrease, thus opening an essential space to approach the dawn of 2025 approach this week.
The teams can start negotiating with players’ agents on Monday and start to sign the players at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Beane has already eliminated an important space by releasing the Rusher de Bord von Miller on Sunday on Sunday Sunday, then giving contract extensions to the Rusher de Bord Greg Rousseau, the wide receiver Khalil Shakir and the second Terl Bernard, who all lowered their 2025 cap figures.
Congratulations to one of the best in the game. It is so cool to be appreciated and respected how the bills make with Josh. https://t.co/xmhcdm7s79

We do not know exactly where the invoices are, but once the Allen agreement is included, they will be considerably lower than the ceiling of $ 279.2 million and Beane will have enough money to make key signatures of free agent, and not only at the level of the second level.
Bills have a vital need along the defensive line, corner and perhaps even the wide receiver.
Allen was released from a superlative season in 2024 during which he led the Bills to their fifth consecutive East division title, then two victories in the playoffs against Denver and Baltimore before losing Kansas City during the AFC championship match.
He passed for 3,731 yards and 28 affected, ran for 531 yards and 12 affected, and he launched a career six interceptions while absorbing a 14 bag league.
He was selected in the second All-Pro team behind the Crows‘Lamar Jackson who had a better statistical season, but Allen won the MVP Prize on Jackson, probably Because he played with a less talented offense in Buffalo.
Allen, who has only become the third Bills player to win the MVP Prize, joining OJ Simpson in 1973 and Thurman Thomas in 1991, will be 29 years old in May and is now linked to Bills throughout his 34 -year season.
