Buffalo Bills is apparently set to make Josh Allen the first player in the 2018 NFL Draft class to sign a massive new extension. That report came before Saturday’s Wild Card victory about the Indianapolis Colts.
“Josh Allen is leaving a regular season of the MVP caliber, has two years left on his contract (or will leave when they choose the fifth year option),” said Rapoport in his quick report on the NFL Network. “My understanding is that the bills should address their representation about a potential massive extension of the contract this spring or this summer. He may end up as one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL, if not The Very high. Obviously, part of that will be determined by next year’s salary cap, but that’s their plan. “
Allen drew with Patrick Mahomes with two Associated Press All-Pro votes this offseason and both were nominated for the second team behind Aaron Rodgers. Being discussed in the NFL QB stratosphere means that it will be in the QB contract stratosphere.
Mahomes recently signed a $ 450 million ten-year contract, and Deshaun Watson signed a $ 39 million season contract. Russell Wilson signed a deal with more money in the first three years, for a total of $ 107 million. He also received a $ 65 million signing bonus.
Despite the high overall numbers for Mahomes, it is actually an incredibly friendly business that will only get better for the Chiefs as it continues into the future. In July, we speculated on what Allen would have to do to win a similar contract and he has been checking boxes all season.
