    With the inflation storm brewing, 43 million per year in 6 years will be worth like 20 million in today's money. Stadium beers will be like $25 bv then.

    this....if you believe this guy is your true 'future' which they have no reason not to then it only makes sense to 'lock him up' as soon as possible, wait another year (assuming he has a great year) and the price only goes up 10-20%

    This move doesn’t make them a super bowl champion but it keeps them relevant the next few years. Right now the Bills have a lot of good players. They won’t have half as many when the extension kicks in. You are looking at Baltimore after the Flacco signing except without the super bowl win.

    I am glad I do not watch NFL anymore. I do not want to watch a sport where Josh Allen makes $40 million. What a world.

    Yes, but football was not as popular back then somehow or at least not as profitable.

    Cam Newton 2.0

    To be fair he's shown gradual improvement every year as a passer whereas cam regressed

    If not he'll dry his tears with 150 mil guaranteed I know players will always say the right thing and I also know that a lot of players truly love the game and competition and are competitive AF but with this type of money some of these guys are making these days how many of them would admit they don't give AF about titles? I bet it's A LOT more than we think

    Cam Newton was at least a show. He had incredible ability and amazing to watch. Josh Allen is just a guy playing QB.

    You are correct. Not every guy is like Brady. If you win great but if you don't hey you are swimming in dough.

    This is irrelevant though. It's a different era. On top of that Kelly made it 4 times.

    Kelly beat these qbs to make it

    Montana
    Marino
    Always
    Moon

    Plenty of other wins. Machines needs to worry about beating Brady.

    How many Superbowls Kelly made when he was 24 years old? You got to compare apples with apples.

    Different career pavy. Kelly imo wasn't that great. He had lots of weapons and buffalo was stacked on defense and special teams as well. I'm not comparing the two overall I'm just saying that Allen might never play in a Superbowl. I don't blame buffalo for locking him up but he might not be that great.

    You may be right but you can't judge Allen for the years he hasn't played yet. I think Buffalo could make the Superbowl this year. The Chiefs are regressing and Buffalo plays in an easy division to make playoffs every year. The Patriots and Jets are a disaster and Miami can't win in cold weather in January.

    The owners have to pay out half of their revenue in salary so you can't say the guy is not worth it. He is a young QB and they have to pay him. He is doing better because he got his deal later. They either have to fish or cut bait and they are fishing. Its unreal he is paid more than Mahomes because there is no comparison between the two. That's professional sports though.

    Mahomes is making $10 million more per year. He is signed for 10 years so that is just an injury opt out. Allen is a guy that this contract could go bust on so they could cut him much more short than Mahomes.

    Mahomes might not play in the Superbowl again either. You just never know. The chiefs are getting worse.

    It does not really matter. The guy is incredible. He barely knows how to read defenses. He is a franchise player. Maybe the best ever.

    Allen is averaging 43mill/year. Mahomes 45mill/year.
