NFL News: Bills give huge contract extension to Josh Allen’s key teammate after loss to Chiefs in playoffs

After a tough playoff loss to the Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills are doubling down on their future with Josh Allen by securing one of his most important teammates for the long haul. Full commitment to building a championship-caliber roster around their star quarterback.

The Buffalo Bills have been very active before the start of free agency, trying to finally build a roster capable of defeating Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. They’ve been very close, but they haven’t been able to get over that hump.

The first move was giving wide receiver Khalil Shakir a four-year, $60.2 million contract extension. Now, the challenge is to continue strengthening the supporting cast, especially on defense.

The Bills have never won the Super Bowl, and things won’t be easy in a crowded AFC with star quarterbacks like Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow. For this reason, general manager Brandon Beane cannot afford to fail.

Minutes after that information, the Bills confirmed the news on their social media. ā€œThe Captain is staying in Buffalo. We’ve agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension with Terrel Bernard.ā€
