Is Allen worth it?
Jared Allen’s place in NFL (financial) history
April 23rd, 2008 – 7:57 AM by Kevin Seifert Based on some very preliminary research this morning, it appears that new Vikings DE Jared Allen is the NFL’s third-highest paid active player and the fourth-highest in league history. If you use guaranteed money as a benchmark, then there are only two players whose contracts guarantee more than the $31,000,0069 in Allen’s deal. Both of them are quarterbacks: Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger, whose recent contract extension guarantees him $36 million, and Indianapolis’ Peyton Manning, who was guaranteed $34.5 million in 2004. The NFL record, we believe, is the $37 million the Atlanta Falcons guaranteed QB Michael Vick in 2005. http://ww3.startribune.com/vikingsblog/ He is now the highest paid defensive player in NFL history, according to them. |

Time will tell whether it was worth it for Minnesota. With the defensive line he'll have around him up there, he should be a monster.
From the Chiefs' perspective, I don't think that would have been a good contract at all. If it's Jared and that contract versus the picks, then I think we did the right thing. |

I am happy with the trade, he wanted to go, and we got a great value out of him. I'm not happy he left but we do have a lot of needs elsewhere that we can *attempt* to fill
only bummer is now we have to spend one of those picks on a DE. |
