Josh Allen proved that he is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL last season. Playing with the Buffalo Bills, he led them to an excellent 13-3 record in the AFC, just behind the Kansas City Chiefs’ 15-1 record.

Furthermore, he was a pivotal figure in the Bills’ run to the AFC championship game, where they eventually fell to the Chiefs. But Josh Allen showed his quality last season and is looking to extend his stay in Buffalo.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen recently spoke to The Ringer. He noted that he was looking to extend his contract with the franchise, but won’t force the issue.

“When it happens, it happens. There’s a lot of different ways you can go about it. Honestly, I love playing football. I want to listen and be engaged in the contract talks.

“Ultimately, that’s why you pay your agents, and that’s why you hire a guy like Brandon Beane and Joe Schoen, and the front office guys and what they do.”

“They’ll iron out the details and if we can get to something soon, I’d obviously love to be locked down in Buffalo for a very long time. It’s a place that I call home, I love being there, I love the fan base, I love the city.

“It’s everything that I want, it’s there. If they called up and wanted to talk tomorrow, I’d be willing, but let’s see. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”

Will Josh Allen re-sign with the Bills? It seems as though it is a mere formality that Allen will remain with the Bills. Both the player and the franchise are very happy with the current relationship, and they will hope to find more success in the near future.
