NFL MVP Josh Allen was rewarded Sunday with a contract extension worth $330m, with $250m of it guaranteed, which makes him among the league’s highest-paid players.

The Buffalo Bills announced the agreement, while two people with knowledge of the deal revealed the contract’s value to the Associated Press. The new deal adds two years to Allen’s contract and locks the 28-year-old in through the 2030 season.

The extension comes after Allen became the Bills third player to be named NFL MVP, and the first since running back Thurman Thomas did so in the 1991 season. The new deal eclipses Allen’s previous contract, a six-year $258m deal he signed with Buffalo in August 2021.

Allen has established himself as one of the league’s elite quarterbacks and rewritten nearly every franchise single-season passing and scoring record at his position. In doing so, he has overcome questions about his rawness and accuracy when Buffalo selected him with the No 7 pick in the 2018 draft out of Wyoming.

Just as important, Allen has solidified what had been an unsettled position in Buffalo since Hall of Famer Jim Kelly retired after the 1996 season. The Bills under Allen have won five consecutive AFC East titles and are on a six-year playoff run. The only thing missing for Allen is a Super Bowl appearance. The Bills have reached the AFC championship game in 2020 and this past season only to lose both times to Kansas City.

The new contract is also expected to provide Buffalo much-needed savings under the salary cap entering league’s new business year, which opens on Wednesday. The Bills were projected to be close to the cap limit after releasing veteran edge rusher Von Miller earlier in the day. And the deal follows GM Brandon Beane spending the past weeks locking in the young core of the team by signing fourth-year edge rusher Greg Rousseau and third-year players linebacker Terrel Bernard and receiver Khalil Shakir to four-year contract extensions.

Elsewhere on Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks are sending two-time Pro Bowler DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh for at least a second-round pick, sources with knowledge of the deal told the Associated Press.

Metcalf had requested a trade from the Seahawks last week. His exodus comes during a tumultuous stretch for Seattle, who released Tyler Lockett – the franchise’s second all-time leading receiver – last Wednesday and then dealt quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders late on Friday.

The 27-year-old Metcalf will also receive a new five-year deal worth $150m, giving Pittsburgh the kind of high-profile big-play wide receiver they haven’t had since Antonio Brown was traded to the Raiders in 2019. Metcalf has had at least 900 yards receiving in each of his six seasons, though he did finish with a career-low five touchdown receptions in 2024. At 6ft 4in he has the size as well as speed to threaten any defense.

The next question for the Steelers to answer is who will throw Metcalf the ball. General manager Omar Khan said at the NFL combine that all options are on the table. Still, Russell Wilson or Justin Fields – who combined to lead Pittsburgh to a 10-7 record last season – would appear to make the most sense in the short term.

Also on Sunday, wide receiver Davante Adams agreed to terms on a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams, bringing the three-time All-Pro back to his native California. Adams’ deal could be worth up to $46m with the Rams, who will move on from Super Bowl 56 MVP Cooper Kupp with Adams and Puka Nacua as the primary playmakers for Matthew Stafford. Adams has been one of the NFL’s best receivers for nearly a decade, starting with eight seasons with Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. He has six career 1,000-yard seasons, including an active streak of five consecutive years, along with two 997-yard seasons.
