One of the league’s highest-paid players, NFL MVP Josh Allen received a $330 million contract extension on Sunday, with $250 million guaranteed. The Buffalo Bills made the agreement public, and two people aware of it told the Associated Press how much it cost. Allen’s contract is extended by two years in the new agreement, keeping the 28-year-old player in place until the season 2030. Since running back Thurman Thomas was named NFL MVP in 1991, Allen is the first Bills player to receive a contract extension after becoming the team’s third MVP. The new deal surpasses Allen’s previous one, which was with Buffalo for six years and $258 million and was signed in August 2021. Allen has established himself as one of the league’s best quarterbacks by breaking nearly every single franchise single-season passing and scoring record. Since Buffalo selected him from Wyoming with the No. 7 pick in the 2018 draft, he has overcome concerns about his rawness and accuracy. Equally significant is Allen’s stabilization of a Buffalo position that had been in flux since Jim Kelly, a Hall of Famer, retired following the 1996 season. The Bills have won the AFC East five times in a row and made the playoffs six times under Allen. Allen has not yet participated in the Super Bowl. The Bills reached the AFC championship game in 2020 and this past season, but Kansas City defeated them both times. Due to the new contract, Buffalo should also be able to save a lot of money under the salary cap when the league’s new business year starts on Wednesday. The Buffalo Bills were anticipated to be close to the cap after letting go of veteran edge rusher Von Miller earlier in the day. Additionally, the agreement comes after General Manager Brandon Beane spent the previous few weeks securing the team’s young core by extending the four-year contracts of third-year players like receiver Khalil Shakir and linebacker Terrel Bernard. The Seattle Seahawks will trade two-time Pro Bowler DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh on Sunday for at least a second-round pick, according to people who are familiar with the deal. Metcalf had asked the Seahawks to trade him last week. His departure occurs during a turbulent time for Seattle, which also released Tyler Lockett, the franchise’s second-leading receiver, and traded quarterback Geno Smith late on Friday to the Las Vegas Raiders. Metcalf, who is 27 years old, will also sign a five-year contract worth $150 million. This will give Pittsburgh a high-profile big-play wide receiver, something they haven’t had since they traded Antonio Brown to the Raiders in 2019. Metcalf has rushed for at least 900 yards in each of his six seasons, but his career low of five touchdown receptions came in 2024. At 6 feet 4 inches, he has the size and speed to be a threat to any defense. The question of who will throw Metcalf the ball now requires a response from the Steelers. Omar Khan, the general manager of the NFL, stated that all options are being considered. Russell Wilson or Justin Fields, who led Pittsburgh to a 10-7 record last season, seem to make the most sense in the short term. On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams also signed three-time All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams to a two-year deal, bringing him back to his home state of California. The Rams will part ways with Super Bowl 56 MVP Cooper Kupp, making Adams and Puka Nacua the primary playmakers for Matthew Stafford. Adams’ contract with the Rams could be worth up to $46 million. For nearly a decade, Adams has been one of the best NFL receivers, starting with Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers for eight seasons. On Sunday, NFL MVP Josh Allen received a $330 million contract extension, of which $250 million is guaranteed, making him one of the league’s highest-paid players. He has two seasons with 997 yards and six career seasons with 1,000 yards, including a five-year active streak.
