That’s a whole lot of money for the former Wyoming star! That’s a whole lot of cash to play a sport, and getting $150 million guaranteed is nuts.
Is Allen worth it? Probably. He’s young, has proven that he can play at a high level and has a lot of years left in him.
Josh Allen’s new deal now will average $43 million a year.
QBs next up for new deals – Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield – have to be quite happy. https://t.co/k3cU3H3e9C

At the very least, the Bills better hope like hell it works out because they just invested a staggering amount of money into their franchise quarterback.
If it doesn’t work out, then they’re toast for years to come.

Props to Allen for getting his money. Being a franchise quarterback in the NFL simply puts you on a different planet when it comes to money.
