“What’s five more going to do for my life than what I can do right now? I wasn’t looking to kill them every chance I could and told my agent that,” said Allen, per Sal Capaccio of ExtraPointWGR on X, formerly Twitter.
Allen was also asked what it would mean for him to start and finish his career in Buffalo, answering that he “still (has) a long way to go before we think about the end, I’m just focused on the here and now…..allows me more opportunity to become a better player and leader.”

Allen brought home the NFL MVP award for his efforts in the 2024 season, the first such award of his career, edging out Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson in the process.
Allen and the Bills surprised many by putting together another dominant regular season despite losing several key pieces in the prior offseason, making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game for another playoff game against Patrick Mahomes in the Kansas City Chiefs.
Unfortunately, the Bills were once again unable to get over the hump against Kansas City, but there’s still no doubt that they’ll continue to compete for years to come with Allen under center.
