Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will become one of the highest paid players in NFL history after agreeing terms on a record-setting $330 million deal, ESPN reported on Sunday.
The network said Allen, the NFL's reigning Most Valuable Player, would receive a guaranteed $250 million under the terms of the six-year contract with the club, which runs through 2030.
While the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes signed a $450 million 10-year deal with the club in 2020, the $250 million Allen will receive is the largest guaranteed figure paid to any NFL player in the history of the sport, eclipsing the $231 million guaranteed to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott.
News of Allen's new deal comes after a dazzling season in which he led the Bills to the AFC Championship game, where they lost to Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Last season, Allen totalled 41 touchdowns ¡ª 28 passing, 12 rushing, one receiving ¡ª as his Bills scored 30-plus points in 12 games in 2024, tied for the second-most games with 30-plus points by a team in a season in NFL history.
Allen, 28, will receive an average of $55 million per season under his new contract.
Only the Cowboys' Prescott, who earns an average $60 million a season, is paid more.
