Josh Allen gets record contract extension $330 million

[TFBillsfan]

Happy for Josh as it’s very well deserved! Now I truly hope Beane can surround Josh with additional top talent. Outside of Diggs, the roster has lacked playmakers on both sides of the ball. 
 

Bills: Josh and ?????

KC:  Mahomes, Kelce, Jones

Balt: Jackson, Henry, Hamilton, McQueen

Cinn: Burrows, Higs, Chase, Hendricksen

Obviously, the Bills have a solid roster, but to break the wall down, they need significant upgrades in talent!

Ofc he is

 

But he's not relying on athleticism like RG3 ...

 

He has great pocket presence and throws darts from the pocket.. his athleticism is an added boost to making him the best football player ever 

 

He can still maneuver around the pocket and throw darts for years even past his prime

We do agree, he would be a top 5 guy based on his arm and brain alone, the fact that when all hell breaks loose he can run like he does is the unicorn.

Yeah... who didn't make playoffs?  cincy. Who did we beat in playoffs?  Balt.

Congrats to Josh. And he hasn't asked to re-set the market. He has his recognition. He has the bag. He is just about a ring at this point. 

Seems like he is hunting two types of rings at this point.  Both are worth having IMHO.  I hope he gets them.

Fran Tarkenton, the 1975 NFL MVP at 35 years old, would like a word there, guy. THIS WAS BACK WHEN 1975 NFL RULES APPLIED, TOO.

The discussion was the Bills have 6 seasons to get a SB, those 6 covering the years Allen will be the most effective.

 

And yeah, Fran one a bowl after age 35….he did it with a bunch of all pro players.

To quote so many, many posts on here....."I've heard of him".

Pretty weak that your first comment after he signs a long term deal is that he may want to move on after it's over - even moreso after reading your second comment. 

 

I'm not saying it as criticism of Josh - I wouldn't blame in the slightest if he did in that scenario. But let's win the Super Bowl next year and it won't be a thing.

[Huh? What?]

I'm so giddy about this I'm humping the dog's leg... Yeah that is probably not the right to post!🤣

I hear ya. I don't blame any player for doing whatever they want to when they have the leverage. I'm just tired of the narrative that Josh wants to or will want to leave Buffalo when nothing he's said or done has supported the argument. Coming on the day he signed an extension rubbed me the wrong way.

Obviously this is great. Nice work.

I get it - was typing without even thinking off the back of someone else's post. The deal shows how much he must love and appreciate the Bills.

Tom Brady won four SB's after age 35.

Tom Brady is exception to every rule as a QB in the NFL. What makes Allen so great is his legs, once he loses that he won't be nearly as potent.

Well deserved.  Another great deal. That's our QB!

Maybe the solution to get some WRs for the Bills is getting the Saudis to invest.

Elway didn’t take nearly as much abuse as Allen does.

Oh I don't think that's correct. Elway had no concern for his body at all when it came to running with the football. He had massive collisions with defenders often, and he wasn't sliding to avoid hits or running out of bounds to avoid hits. That made his success late in his career even more incredible. 

 

Josh can play to 40 if he wants.  

[BullBuchanan]

I don't get this deal. They're calling it a 6 year extension, but it's really just a 2 year $200M extension. How does that make sense? Why not do an actual six year extension?

[Huh? What?]

No question now, Josh is the face of the NFL.
