Viral Story on Josh Allen Finally Gets Set Straight

The Buffalo Bills are riding high at 3-0, and as always, quarterback Josh Allen is right at the center of the spotlight. Following Buffalo’s commanding win over the Miami Dolphins, rumors began swirling about Allen’s generosity off the field — and one story went especially viral.
On September 19, reports spread across X (formerly Twitter) that Allen had taken his entire team on a two-day, all-expenses-paid trip to Costa Rica. Some NFL insiders claimed it cost him upwards of $100,000 and called it a “class act.” The story lit up social media, with fans praising Allen as the ultimate role model.
But here’s the truth: it never happened.
Appearing on Up & Adams with Kay Adams, wide receiver Khalil Shakir shut the rumor down completely.
“Josh did not take 53 men for $100k,” Shakir laughed. “I don’t know where you guys thought we were staying, but that did not happen.”
Shakir went on to explain that while Allen didn’t treat the team to a Costa Rica getaway, bonding trips do happen — though they’re typically football-related, designed to build chemistry on and off the field. He added: “Josh is the best player in the NFL, and our chemistry this year is stronger than ever.”
So no, the Costa Rica vacation was fake news. But what’s real? Josh Allen’s dominance, his leadership, and his ability to keep Buffalo undefeated. Bills Mafia doesn’t need a viral headline to know their QB is special.
