Josh Allen won the MVP award for the 2024 NFL season after a close vote against Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the other candidate to win the award. The Buffalo Bills star not only won the MVP award, but also won a big reward.
The Bills quarterback was named MVP for the first time in his seven-year career, marking a before and after in his pro career, which began in 2018. Jackson, meanwhile, lost the vote and failed to win his third MVP award of the season.
With this award on his back after reaching the AFC Conference Finals, Allen has established himself as an NFL star who will try to elevate the Bills next season to contend for the long haul in 2025. General manager Brandon Beane will be tasked with continuing to improve Buffalo’s roster, which has already paid Allen a hefty bonus.
Allen’s reward for winning the MVP
Bills star Josh Allen will receive a big $1.5 million bonus for being named the season’s Most Valuable Player, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter on his X (formerly Twitter) account.
