Bills QB Josh Allen Donates $300,000 to Support Charlie Kirk’s Family

Charlie Kirk Family Guide: Meet the Political Activist's Loved Ones | Us  Weekly

Buffalo, NY – September 11, 2025

The NFL continues to mourn the shocking assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk during a Utah Valley University event earlier this week. Across the league, tributes have poured in — but none resonate more with Bills fans than the gesture from quarterback Josh Allen, who has stepped forward with a profound act of compassion.

Allen has pledged a $300,000 donation to support Kirk’s widow, Erika, and their two young daughters.

According to team sources, the donation is divided into two parts:

  • $125,000 will go toward public murals and floral memorials in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Charlotte to honor Kirk’s life and legacy.

  • $175,000 has been placed in a trust fund to help secure the long-term education and stability of Kirk’s daughters.

  • In his statement, Allen said:

    “This isn’t about politics — it’s about people. It’s about standing with a family in pain and showing them they’re not alone. Football teaches us about brotherhood, and I want Erika and her girls to feel that brotherhood around them now.”

    The donation comes as NFL teams prepare to hold moments of silence this weekend in Kirk’s memory, with discussions underway about establishing a league-wide legacy fund for his children’s future.

    One Bills teammate noted privately:

    “Josh has always been the kind of leader who doesn’t just talk about community — he invests in it. This time, his heart spoke louder than his words.”

    Chiefs Locker Room Erupts, Chris Jones Under Investigation for NFL Sports Betting in Jaguars Game - HC Andy Reid Hands Down Harsh Punishment
    Kansas City, MO – The Kansas City Chiefs' locker room is in turmoil following an NFL investigation into defensive star Chris Jones over allegations related to sports betting. Jones, a multiple-time Pro Bowler, has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through Week 10, while head coach (HC) Andy Reid has imposed internal penalties after a suspicious performance in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. SOURCE: https://x.com/TheNFLDrop/status/1975574483990909165 The incident stems from a decisive play at the end of the game, where Jones – the Chiefs' top defensive tackle – appeared to "do absolutely nothing" to stop quarterback Trevor Lawrence from scoring the game-winning touchdown. According to sources, this lack of effort prompted the NFL to launch an investigation, suspecting possible involvement in betting, a serious violation of league rules. "He just stood there watching Lawrence run into the end zone like he was watching a movie," an anonymous teammate shared, reflecting the outrage in the locker room. Jones, 31, has been a cornerstone for the Chiefs since being selected in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft from Mississippi State. With an impressive career including 3 Pro Bowls, 2 Super Bowl wins, and 75.5 sacks, he signed a 5-year, $158 million contract in 2023. However, this season, Jones has only recorded 2 sacks through 5 games, and his performance against the Jaguars has drawn sharp criticism from Chiefs fans on social media. HC Andy Reid reacted strongly, penalizing Jones by sidelining him from practices and requiring an internal explanation. "We do not tolerate any behavior that harms the team or undermines the integrity of the game," Reid stated post-game. "Our organization prides itself on discipline and trust, and while we await the results of the NFL's investigation, we'll handle this internally to ensure it doesn't distract from our goals. Chris is a talented player, but no one is above the standards we set here in Kansas City." Meanwhile, the Chiefs' locker room is described as "explosive" with arguments, as some players like Patrick Mahomes express disappointment but still offer support for their teammate. The NFL investigation is expected to continue, and if violations are proven, Jones could face a long-term suspension. The Chiefs, currently at 2-3, must quickly stabilize their roster ahead of their next matchup. Fans are watching closely, with many calling this potentially the "biggest scandal of the season."
