Allen ain’t Brady, he relies on his athleticism. Maybe Allen learns to read a defence better, but backyard football will be tough to play at 35.

Hey, I'm 35 and I feel pretty good! Allen will be able to play until he is 38 at least. It isn't the 90's anymore. QBs get protected and it has seriously extended their careers.

 

Aaron Rodgers used to run around quite a bit and was still doing that in his late 30s. But he was good at avoiding contact. Allen will have to take that approach when he is a bit older.

Tom Brady won four SB's after age 35.

He cheated to get to all 4 SB, and NFL punished them for the cheating, so if that is your standard then so be it, it is a game so cheating makes you a loser in my mind.

I've posted decade Long NFL studies that show there is no correlation between running quarterbacks and injuries 

 

In fact statistically most quarterbacks get hurt inside the pocket ... The percentage of injuries in Josh Allen's running group.. versus the percentage of injuries in Tom Brady's statue group is less than 1% 

 

In fact it's the tweeners who can't decide if they want to be pocket passers or improvisers who get hurt the most... Josh like Brett favre knows how to improvise and stay safe

by the time this contract ends who knows what will have become of the nfl.   

 

also its funny i was thinking how bad its going to suck not having Josh on the team anymore..   (one day)

at least I can kick that to the back burner for a while.

Wow.  $250m guaranteed.  See those numbers and us squabbling between Cook being worth $12m vs. $15m a year seems trivial.

If he pays NYS taxes the state gets $248m.

doesnt he only pay ny state taxes if he resides on ny...or..i guess if he has a house he spends more than half the year in..damn...

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

I would say Reid Ferguson is

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?

Original deal torn up for the new 6 year one. In the NFL contracts can always be terminated

I wonder if cook is getting nervous yet?

It is amazing Josh will sign in a place with high taxes and no palm trees….

Youre 35??  You're one of the most rational people on here. I figured you were at least 90. 
 

Seems to me JA has zero issue with McBean then?

By the time Josh hangs ‘em up (at age 40 or so) the NFL will be a flag football league.

Some fans, especially ones who want to find a fault in things just don't listen.

 

The initial report is not an extension, it's a 6-year contract like you said.

[Don Otreply]

Excellent Smithers, excellent, 

[RyanC883]

this is great news.  Now get him a toy (Slayton, Palmar, get Ty Johnson and Hollins back). 

[GASabresIUFan]

Maybe he'll buy the Sabres and teach them how to win.

[ColoradoBills]

Just to remark on some cap details.

 

For those who like to follow contracts in terms of team cap %.

 

Spotrac has Josh Allen's new contract at 19.7 %.

I did not know this data, so thank you, but also I will add a good runner quickly learns to get his butt on the ground before a big hit so that likely is why 

[Since1981]

Good trade off. More guaranteed. Less total, that can be used on player. Let’s be clear too. $250M guaranteed is enough money for anything he or his fam could ever want. 

[Mike in Horseheads]

Honestly, on a day to be happy about Josh being locked up for 6 years people are bitchin about the taxes he has to pay? I'm sure he and his agent are well aware about that. Maybe the guy doesn't care and likes it in Buffalo smh
