BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Josh Allen, coming off his first MVP season and the best year of his career, certainly could have sought a new deal that broke all records for NFL contracts.
But doing so wasn't what mattered most to the Buffalo Bills quarterback.
Allen made history with his recent six-year, $350 million extension by receiving more guaranteed money -- $250 million -- than any other player. The deal's average annual value of $55 million, however, is tied for the second-highest in the NFL and pays Allen $5 million less annually than Dak Prescott's contract with the Dallas Cowboys.
