The NFL has a longstanding tradition of quarterbacks getting lavish gifts for their offensive linemen.
This tradition has only gotten more extravagant over the years, as quarterbacks continue to get massive contracts.
Quarterback is said to be one of the most important positions on the field, if not the most important, and teams try to reward them handsomely as a result.
While a strong quarterback is needed in today’s NFL to have success in the postseason, they wouldn’t have much success at all if it wasn’t for a solid offensive line.
These gifts are a token of a quarterback’s appreciation, letting linemen know how much they are needed and valued.
The Buffalo Bills’ offensive linemen flipped the script on Josh Allen this year, getting him an expensive gift during this holiday season.
As Dov Kleiman recently highlighted on X, they bought Allen a chain that says “MVP” on it, which cost over $50,000.

Allen has made a strong case to win the league’s MVP award this season, and his linemen seem confident that he’s a shoo-in for the award.
This necklace might be a painful reminder in a few months if Allen doesn’t win MVP, but for now, he seems to be enjoying the present.
Allen and the Bills are already locked into the playoffs, and considering the Kansas City Chiefs’ win on Christmas Day, they’re going to be the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.
With any luck, this should give them plenty of time to rest and relax before the postseason, hoping their MVP candidate can bring them on a deep run.
