“I’m Not Getting Paid for What I’ve Done”: Josh Allen Gets Real About $330M Extension With Buffalo Bills

After he managed to secure the first regular season MVP award of his seven-year NFL career, the Buffalo Bills decided to go ahead and solidify the future of the franchise by signing Josh Allen to a benchmark contract extension.

The six-year, $330-million deal will ensure that Allen remains in Buffalo through the 2030 season.Even though he still had four years remaining on his prior contract, both Allen and the Bills front office agreed that now was the time to sure things up a bit.

Even though their initial negotiations started shortly after Allen received his award at the NFL Honors, the long-term face of the franchise is insisting that Im not getting paid for what Ive done, Im getting paid for what Im going to do.During a recent interview with RG, Allen also explained that the offer came to him as a bit of a surprise at first.

Nevertheless, hes determined to work just as hard as ever to prove that the Bills money was in fact well spent.I really appreciate Brandon Beane and the Buffalo Bills for going out there and doing that for me.

I wasnt really expecting it or needing it to happen this year, but it did and Im very grateful for that...

Ive got to keep working hard and keep trying to find a way to bring a Lombardi trophy to Western New York, and thats our main goal.Allens yearly salary of $55,000,000 ties him with the likes of Trevor Lawrence, Jordan Love, and his conference rival, Patrick Mahomes, for the second highest QB salary in the league today.

In terms of total value, his $330-million contract is the second most valuable, second only to Mahomes historic $450-million deal.Allen and the Bills, once again, find themselves attempting to rebound from a gut-wrenching postseason loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, however, the goal of training camp will remain the same.

Apart from that, the only other assignment is not to let the NFLs film crew be a distraction.Just continuing to develop our team, adding a couple of pieces on offense and quite a bit of pieces on defense.

Making sure everybody is on the same page.

We have Hard Knocks in training camp this year.

So, just making sure were relaying and echoing that weve got to keep the main thing the main thing, and thats developing our team and doing everything that we can to win football games and not let that part be a distraction.Hard Knocks figures to be an interesting product this year, as itll depict the rebounding process for Buffalo.

It will certainly make for a good watch this August, but the real excitement will come when Allen and co.

take to the field for their Week 1 contest against the Baltimore Ravens on September 7th.The post Im Not Getting Paid for What Ive Done: Josh Allen Gets Real About $330M Extension With Buffalo Bills appeared first on The SportsRush..
