Sean McDermott’s contract details: What is the Bills’ head coach’s salary and how many years are left?
Sean McDermott has led the Buffalo Bills to a good start to the 2025 season as they head into Week 3’s Thursday Night Football game against the Dolphins.
Since head coach Sean McDermott joined the Buffalo Bills in 2017, he’s taken them to seven postseasons, and they’ve become one of the top teams in the league. The problem is that of those seven trips, none turned into a Super Bowl berth. Still, McDermott is a good head coach, and he’s a lot of the reason those top players on the team were able to shine.
#Bills HC Sean McDermott was very passionate today talking about the narratives of Buffalo:

“It pisses me off. People don’t know this town. They don’t know how hard it is to get to four straight Super Bowls. It’ll never happen again.”

Two years later: How Sean McDermott’s extension has shaped the Bills
Back in June 2023, the Bills announced that both general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott had signed extensions through the 2027 season. At the time, the move was celebrated as a sign of stability for one of the NFL’s most consistent franchises. Now, entering the 2025–26 season, those deals look even more significant.
Beane and McDermott, who arrived together in 2017, have become one of the NFL’s most respected GM–coach tandems. They snapped Buffalo’s 17-year playoff drought in their first season and have since kept the team in contention year after year.
Since signing their extensions, the Bills have added to their résumé: multiple AFC East titles, deep playoff runs, and a roster that remains one of the most balanced in football. McDermott continues to lean on a defense that has ranked among the league’s best under his watch, while Beane’s roster-building - highlighted by drafting and extending stars like Josh Allen, Matt Milano, and Ed Oliver - has kept Buffalo’s championship window open.
McDermott’s efforts are reported to be earning him an annual salary of around $8 million, with his current contract running through the 2027 season. With Allen now in his prime, the pressure is squarely on McDermott to turn regular-season success into a Super Bowl appearance.
