Josh Allen is in a familiar position, and it's not one he hoped to be in coming into Sunday's AFC Championship. The Buffalo Bills quarterback dropped to 0-4 in his playoff career against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs as his hopes of reaching the Super Bowl have once again come up just short with a 32-29 defeat at Arrowhead Stadium.

In 2024 they made a similar move. $14,875,000 of Allen’s pay was converted into bonuses, bringing his salary down to $1,125,000. This restructure netted him a total of $60 million cash for the season while freeing up $16,700,000 in cap space.
