In the NFL, quarterbacks get paid fairly well. On Friday, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen agreed to a six-year contract extension that is worth $258 million with a $150 million guaranteed. The extension gives Allen an average salary of $43 million per year and makes him the NFL’s second-highest-paid quarterback.
Allen’s extension could pave the way for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to receive a big contract of his own.
One analyst believes that Jackson should hold out if the money per season doesn’t match or exceed Allen’s.
