The Josh Allen contract highlights the flaws of the “new-money” fiction.

There are no extensions, in the technical or literal sense, of NFL contracts.

In every case, the old contract gets torn up and disregarded.

Dak Prescott signed in September 2024 a new contract with four new years.

Bills replaced the remaining four years of Allen 's contract with a new, six-year contract.

The same thing happened with Deshaun Watson’s contract in 2022 .

Watson was due to make, as noted by Joel Corry of CBS Sports , $136 million over the four years left on his deal with the Texans .

So if Dak Prescott is making $60 million per year, the Bills are making $87.723 million .
