It’s raining Benjamin Franklins in Buffalo, New York.

That’s because Bills star and league-MVP Josh Allen was extended to a massive six-year, $330million contract extension.

And an NFL-record, $250m in guaranteed money.

Mind blowing numbers for a player that has been more than worthy.

Funnily enough, Allen still isn’t the highest paid player in the league in terms of average annual value.

That honor belongs to Dallas Cowboy Dak Prescott.

Allen will now make $55m per year, which is tied for second with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

Prescott remains the highest-paid player in the league at $60m per year.

If Allen had wanted to, there’s zero doubt the Bills would have made him the highest-paid player in league history.

When asked about it at his press conference after the extension was announced, Allen had a refreshing answer.

“It didn’t seem like from my perspective I was taking a whole lot less,” Allen said.

“But the way I make sense of it, when you start getting these fairly big numbers throughout the entire league …

“It’s weird to say this … but what is five [million dollars] more going to do for my life that I can’t already do right now?

“It’s not that crazy to me. I live a pretty good life. Got a house, got a car. We’re good.”

In his young seven-year career, Allen has already amassed $174.5m.

And there are hundreds of more millions on the way.

So yeah, what’s an extra $5m to Allen?

A literal drop in a bucket.

Allen went into more detail as to why he wasn’t exactly pushing for more.

“I wasn’t looking to absolutely kill them at every chance I could, and I told my agent that,” Allen said.

“I was like, ‘If it has any impact on the cap, let’s figure out a way to not do that.’

“Both sides were willing to move and change different things, and it was a pretty calm-mannered negotiation is what I can say from both sides.”

He wants Buffalo to have the flexibility to put together a talented team around him.

A strategy that Tom Brady did for years in New England.

And that worked out pretty well for the seven-time Super Bowl winning QB.

Allen is still looking for his first.

He’s been handsomely paid beyond his dreams, the only thing that is missing, is the Lombardi Trophy.

And he only wants to win one in one place.

Buffalo, New York.

“I don’t want to play anywhere else,” Allen said. “Buffalo is home to me and it always will be.”
