Starting preseason finale Allen will start under center in Saturday's preseason finale versus the Packers.

Impact According to head coach Sean McDermott, the starter's action could range from as little as one play to a little more than a half. It's unclear where Allen falls on that spectrum, but it does mark his first action of the preseason, so it's possible the staff wants him to get a little tune-up in before the regular season.

Won't play this weekend Allen won't play in Saturday's preseason game against Chicago, Matt Parrino of syracuse.com reports.

Impact Coach Sean McDermott mentioned only Allen and WR Stefon Diggs (knee) by name, but other key players will also be held out, with the Bills coach saying he'll rest most of the core players who have been with the team for a few years, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. McDermott wouldn't commit to Allen playing or not playing in the team's third and final preseason game next week, per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic.

Won't start Friday night Allen won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Lions, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Impact Allen recently signed a six-year, $258 million extension, the second-largest contract in NFL history. His absence Friday night leaves more playing time for Mitchell Trubisky, Jake Fromm and Davis Webb, while Allen could make an appearance -- likely a brief one -- in the second or third week of the preseason.

The Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen have agreed to a contract extension

Inks six-year extension The Bills and Allen agreed Friday on a six-year contract extension, which runs through the 2028 season. The deal is reportedly worth $258 million.

Impact Losing Allen was never really going to be an option, but the team also didn't want to have the franchise quarterback in limbo and no one was going to negotiate if the season got started and Allen didn't have an extension. Now that this is out of the way, Allen can continue to focus on getting the Bills over the hump following last season's AFC Championship Game appearance. He'll be one of the first three quarterbacks off the board in almost any fantasy format.

Fifth-year option picked up The Bills exercised the fifth-year option on Allen's rookie contract Monday, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact No surprise here, as Allen has gone from raw prospect to star quarterback over the course of three seasons. His completion percentage, passing yardage and touchdown totals have all improved by leaps and bounds with every season, and the 2018 seventh overall pick is coming off a stellar 2020 campaign in which he completed 69.2 percent of his passes for 4,544 yards and a 37:10 TD:INT. Allen's scheduled to play the fourth year of his rookie contract in 2021, with the $23.1 million fifth-year option covering the 2022 season.

Worth The Bills?

Josh Allen has ascended rapidly since Buffalo took a chance on him in 2018. Did his play in 2020 earn him a big-money deal?

Worth The Bills?

Reverts to old form Allen completed 28 of 48 pass attempts for 287 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while rushing for 88 yards on seven carries in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC...

Impact Allen made one of the greatest one-year leaps in progression we've ever witnessed from his second to third campaign. The rising star improved his completion percentage 10 points (59 to 69 percent) while posting MVP-level passing numbers in 2020, but the quarterback we saw on the field Sunday was closer to the inferior 2018/2019 versions, even though he clearly battled hard until the end. Allen was under duress in the pocket and forced some inaccurate throws when he wasn't straight up getting sacked (four sacks for a combined loss of 53 yards). The 24-year-old tried to get the offense going with his legs, as his 88 rushing yards represented a new season high. The Bills were outclassed by the Chiefs on both sides of the ball, and that all shouldn't fall on just the quarterback, but Allen didn't perform up to the expectations he set after a tremendous overall season. How the young gunslinger responds to the sting of defeat ultimately may determine which direction his development moves in his fourth year as a pro, but Buffalo fans and fantasy managers have to feel optimistic after witnessing the overwhelmingly positive results Allen displayed this season.
