Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is getting good news during the NFL offseason that proves just how how beloved he is in the NFL.<\/p>\n
The Buffalo Bills<\/a> are sharing some love for Josh Allen<\/a> after his family\u2019s big day.<\/p>\n The former league MVP and wife Hailee Steinfeld announced on Thursday the birth of their first child, a girl.<\/p>\n \u201cOur baby girl has arrived!! We\u2019re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments,\u201d Steinfeld wrote her newsletter on Thursday. \u201cThank you so much for the love and well wishes. Love, Hailee and Josh.\u201d<\/p>\n The team also shared a message for Allen, welcoming him into an important new phase of his life.<\/p>\n Bills Share Baby Message for Josh Allen<\/p>\n After the baby announcement, the Bills took to social media to share a message to Allen.<\/p>\n \u201cGirl dad,\u201d the team shared in a post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n Allen had shared his excitement about becoming a father, saying in a press conference after the season that he was looking forward to the baby\u2019s birth.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very much looking forward to that with my wife, becoming a dad,\u201d Allen said<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s something that I will take with great pride.\u201d<\/p>\n The Bills quarterback admitted that he was heading into uncharted territory, but was excited nonetheless.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going to have to figure things out on the go, just like anything else,\u201d Allen said. \u201cBut this is the most important thing I\u2019ll ever be in my life, is being a dad. And I know I love being a football player and I love being a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, but I\u2019m looking forward to this one.\u201d<\/p>\n Josh Allen May Not Miss Offseason Activities<\/p>\n While Allen has some busy weeks and sleepless nights ahead, he may remain on track to join the team for offseason activities. The team starts optional OTAs next week, and new head coach Joe Brady said he wasn\u2019t worried about Allen missing any important time.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you\u2019re Josh Allen<\/a>, you got marketing, you got stuff, now you got family,\u201d Brady said. \u201cI\u2019m understanding of guys might not be able to be there every single day at every single moment. What I know is if Josh can, he will.\u201d<\/p>\n While it\u2019s not clear if Allen will participate in the optional practices, he would be on track to return for the team\u2019s mandatory minicamp, which will likely take place around the first week of June.<\/p>\n Allen and Steinfeld tied the knot in a ceremony last May, with Allen scheduling it before the team\u2019s mandatory summer practices and returning for training camp.<\/p>\n This is an important summer for Allen and the team as they transition to a new regime under Brady. The team changed nearly all of its coaching staff, while bringing on some important new players for the offense, including wide receiver DJ Moore<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Bills are looking to rebound after a disappointing playoff exit in a loss to the Denver Broncos<\/a> where Allen committed four turnovers. The Bills also saw their streak of five consecutive AFC East titles come to an end as the New England Patriots<\/a> won the division and went on to reach the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tNathan Dougherty<\/a> is a sports reporter covering the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins.
