Josh Allen Thinking Broadcasting After Buffalo Bills QB Career
Written by Tariq on July 21, 2026
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen might one day find himself behind the broadcaster’s seat. Allen, 30, told CNBC Sport he would “entertain” a post-NFL career in broadcasting, joining the ranks of former quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Tony Romo and Troy Aikman. However, the star player said he would be concerned about accepting a position where he’d be forced to make overly negative comments – especially after being on the other side of the microphone.
“I do think it would be cool if you can keep it from a strictly broadcasting angle,” Allen said. “When players go from players to journalists and say certain things that they hated people saying about them, I think that’s where it gets a little murky for me,” he added. “But I do think that it would be something I would entertain. I can’t say for sure ‘yes’ or for sure ‘no’ right now, because I do go back and forth on it. But yeah, I’d have to put some more thought into it.”
Though quarterbacks have increasingly made the career shift to broadcasting, bringing with them their expertise of the game and years of first-hand experience, Allen isn’t the first to struggle with the idea of criticizing players. Four-time Super Bowl champion Joe Montana served a brief stint on NBC’s pregame show in 1995 – but quit in the middle of a game because he was so frustrated by the attacks on players.
