Lamar got paid Josh now 7th highest paid QB 

 

 

That’s fine, but the question remains: How much is guaranteed???? That was always the sticking point.

Awful qbs get paid a lot of money. Much less a Heisman trophy winner who wins like 70% of his games and is 25.

He finally came to his senses. Too much money to leave on the table

All these top teams in the NFL are paying their QB's (BTW, and getting much more than Josh is getting)..... AND signing big name free agents, and making moves....!! Is Ralph back running the Bills??? Top 7 teams (based on actual roster talent!!) - Chiefs - Eagles - Bengals - Ravens - Jets - Dolphins - Bills.... Josh STILL l has to do it all, and that's on Beane! The Bills are essentially the same team that moped back to their lockers back in January (Only without Edmonds)... Frankly my above list might be generous for the Bills.  Get real.. Nobody that the Bills can draft this weekend  is a difference maker for the Bills.... Better get D-HOP, and NOW!!     

This will be true if we lose out on D Hop to the Ravens or Chiefs.

If you’re Mahomes and his agent they should be throwing a riot right about now

Will be interesting to see what the guaranteed money is. 

 

Why? They got OBJ. 

Some teams don’t mind having multiple difference makers.   And they are two different types of receivers.

It’s not him that came to his senses. The ravens caved here

[Alphadawg7]

Pretty on par with what I think was expected.  Josh is 7th on the list now, but after Burrow and Herbert Allen will be almost out of the top 10 in most expensive.  Just an absolute bargain Josh Allens contract is now for who is arguably the 2nd best player in the NFL.

OBJ at 15-18M is insane

It’s not a fully guaranteed deal. He’s the highest paid as expected but it’s not fully guaranteed

The renegotiation will happen before his deal expires.

Well after dozens of geniuses here calling him a moron for months I am excited to see the numbers!

“Highest paid player of all time”…

People called him a Moron for wanting a fully guaranteed deal. Not for wanting to get a new deal

[appoo]

If Allen puts up MVP type seasons this year and next, he’s gonna be needing a new contract in after the 24/25 season. Just no way he’s gonna be happy as the 10th best paid QB.

Yeah, it is.  But if he stays healthy he will help them win.  That’s what it’s about.  

[Taro Nimbus]

If Lamar got this, just imagine what Burrow and Herbert are gonna make!

I don't disagree, but I don't think that happens for another couple years and would be more in the form of an extension probably.  

[FLFan]

That seems like a big price for a player that no team seemed interested in making a big offer on when he was available.  The Ravens were really in a tough spot, but I think they will come to regret this. Good for Lamar.

Alpha, you’re too smart to know this is how it always works. The next contract tops the last one. Allen will be setting the market soon enough. 
 

none of these qbs are a bargain and it severely hampers your team. That’s why, as much as some bills fans try to discredit him, what Mahomes did last year was absolutely amazing. He had the best season of his career after reading a top 3ish receiver. That’s just stupid.
