QB Josh Allen of the Bills reveals what would cause him to “retire tomorrow.”

 

Josh Allen has already had an incredible career with the Buffalo Bills, but he stated he would be open to exchanging it for a Super Bowl tomorrow.

When Allen appeared on Pardon My Take, he was asked if he would retire in the unlikely event that it would ensure the Bills would win a Super Bowl. Allen answered without hesitation.

“I would do it if that was what it took,” Allen remarked. Yes, without a doubt.

Josh Allen ‘Badly’ Wants Super Bowl for Bills Fans

This is not the first time that Allen has expressed his deep desire to bring a Super Bowl to the franchise and its long-suffering fans. Speaking to reporters in May 2023, Allen acknowledged that there could be a short window of opportunity to win a title and he wanted to seize it.

“I so badly want to bring a Super Bowl here to Buffalo, and I just don’t want anything to get in the way of allowing me to be the best quarterback that I can be for this team,” Allen said, via ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg.

Allen said at the time that he wanted to improve in whatever ways the team needed to get over the hump and win a franchise-first Super Bowl title.

“I want to give everything that I have for as long as I play,” Allen said. “I’m not saying that I haven’t done that in the past, but there’s always new ways that I can find to get better, and not being complacent with what I’m doing on the field, understanding that there’s a lot of plays that we left out there. And you know, statistically, you look at it, we were top three, four [in] offense in the league last year, and it wasn’t good enough. So, just losing the playoffs isn’t fun, you know?”

Bills Change Course After Playoff Heartbreak

The Bills have changed significantly since Allen first made that statement last offseason. After falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round for the third year out of four, the Bills overhauled both their offense and defense.

The team parted ways with both top wide receivers, trading Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans and letting Gabe Davis leave in free agency. They also released a number of key veteran players to save cap space, cutting center Mitch Morse, safety Jordan Poyer, and cornerback Tre’Davious White among others.

The Bills added some youth to their offensive line when they selected wide receiver Keon Coleman with their first-round choice.

Allen stated that he must adapt to the changes.

We’ve lost a lot of seasoned leadership this offseason, including Stef, so you know, we’ve made a lot of adjustments. That must be the nature of the industry, Allen remarked, as cited by CBS Sports. And now that we are in Year 7, it’s just kind of the way things are. I’m not compensated for making adjustments to the team. I’m paid to attempt to lead the guys on this team and be the best quarterback I can be.
