Josh Allen gets paid

[Dr. Strangelove]

Bills, Josh Allen agree to 6-year contract extension
Allen gets huge extension. The kid has showed great improvement since coming in as a raw rookie. Buffalo has their guy locked up now hoping he can take them to the promised land. We shall see, I suppose.

I'm glad they got it settled now instead of being a soap opera like Dallas and Prescott. It puts pressure on the Ravens and Browns top get deals done now for Lamar and Baker.

The thing about contracts is that they always get larger. If all goes as everyone thinks, four years from now Trevor Lawrence will likely sign for twice what Allen got. In the final year of the Allen's contract (unless renegotiated), Allen will look underpaid.

I guess QB means "Quarter-Billion" these days. He outperformed many of his peers, though, getting to contract #2 with the same team.

if this thread was about Prescott's signing it would be 8 pages full of hot sports opinions on the topic.

What the majority of the country thinks about Dak Prescott's contract:

For those that are too lazy to click & read (myself included):

According to multiple reports, the extension has a total value of $258 million with $150 million in total guarantees. The $43 million annual average makes Allen the second-highest paid quarterback in NFL history, trailing only Patrick Mahomes ($45 million) and exceeding Dak Prescott ($40 million).

This contract will pay him more than Brady has made in his career.

These contracts are like hitting the PowerBall or MegaMillions jackpots

Doubtful since there is a salary cap in football.

If he finishes out, this contract is meant to be restructured. It’s a tease

 

[Strutz1896]

How come he is getting paid more than Mahomes.

He's not. Mahomes restructured, but his overall contract will pay him more.

Better agent?

I guess they're convinced the Chiefs game either a total aberration or just a bad dream.
