It's easy to underestimate the kind of value the quarterback position holds in the modern NFL, with the best of the best signal callers routinely taking their teams deep into the playoff race and essentially guaranteeing success for their respective team. So when looking at the NFL players with the most value for their respective team, it's hard to overlook an elite quarterback. Dallas Robinson of Pro Football Network conducted a list of every teams best contract, and for the Buffalo Bills it ended up being their franchise quarterback in Josh Allen.

Robinson goes on to point at that Allen, one of the top three quarterbacks in the league, makes $13 million less than Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. There is a reason these teams are paying their quarterbacks as early as possible as the rates for their services get higher and higher. Allen really does bring the best value even with what is a mega contract for the franchise quarterback.
