Somewhere between what Freeney got and what Aaron Schobel got, I think that is reasonable...
Freeneys overall is 72 and Schobels is around 50. |

Unlike some people, I trust Allen and think he's a changed man. I say give him the bank. We're the Kansas City ****ing Chiefs. What do we have to lose?

If he wants Freeney's deal, play under the tag this year, prove that you can: 1) Stay clean 2) Repeat your 2007 performance (12-13 sacks or more) Otherwise, $60M max. |

IMO he deserves to be among the highest paid DEs in the NFL. When you consider his pass rush combined with his TFL over the last few years, I don't see any way to argue that he's not in that class.
You can try to argue that his off field stuff should affect his price, but if you are willing to make a long term commitment to him you've already chosen to believe it won't happen again. I would have no problem with behavior clauses, but I don't think the NFLPA would allow it.

Larry is lucky he made it through 2006 unscathed...think he would have gotten a huge payday this offseason after breaking his foot?

He could also lose a big chunk of his value by slipping into old habits again, or posting 7.5 sacks like he did in 2006. Trust me, he's not worried about injury nearly as much as losing his payday over an average 2008 performance or falling off the wagon. |

60 million, around 24 guaranteed, with some performance bonuses that might bring the guaranteed cash closer to Freeney's.

He could have secured his future YEARS ago by learning from the first or second DWI. |

His behavior over the past year and a half isn't proof he learned?

I would match Freeneys total but the guarantee would have to be less.
If at all possible, I would make it based on performance incentives, games played. I wonder if they could put in a step clause for the guarantee over 2 years or a roster bonus for the next two years? |
