On March 9th, 2025 Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills agreed to a 6 year, $330 million contract that replaces the 4 years, $129.5M that was in place. The $55M APY ranks tied for second in the NFL at the time of the deal. Allen secures $147M fully guaranteed at signing with the new deal, including a $56.754M signing bonus, & $58M cash in year 1. The contract includes $250M guaranteed for practical purposes through the 2029 season, and an historic $220M due over the first four seasons. Three void years were added to the deal initially to allow for each of the three option bonuses in the contract to prorate over the maximum five years. Allen can secure an extra $500,000 per year with 60% snaps plus a Super Bowl win.
