Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen quietly renegotiated his contract this offseason

Matt Warren is Associate Director of NFL coverage for SB Nation and previously covered the Buffalo Bills for Buffalo Rumblings for more than a decade. If it has to do with math, he covered it, from NFL playoff standings to salary cap analysis. He does weekly community questions to stay involved with the commenters on the site.

In March, the Buffalo Bills restructured quarterback Josh Allen’s contract to open up cap space, converting base salary to “signing bonus” in order to spread the hit over five years instead of one. That’s a pretty standard and expected move, but according to a new report, they also altered his deal later in the summer to actually pay him more money in 2024.
