That's what everyone else is basing it on? Had he had another ho-hum 8-9 sack season, no one would be advocating giving him anywhere NEAR Freeney money. Bottom line is that he's produced at a Freeney-type level for ONE year. I don't think the Chiefs are in the wrong here. They put the tag on him knowing that if he ****ed up again, they'd be covered. It also gave Allen another year to prove to the team that he's clean. But then Jared went running his mouth about not signing a long term deal if he played under the tag. Someone who actually wanted to be here would have taken his $9M, put his head down, realized he was getting a 4th chance, stayed clean, and gotten that huge contract. Instead, he basically gives the team an ultimatum. |

So do we have all but 1 piece or do we have our record from last year?

I'll give you the passes batted down, Allen holds a huge edge in that 25-11. Though he should, considering he's a half a foot taller than Freeney. Bottom line? Freeney has been consistent. His LOWEST sack total in his first 4 years was 11. The same 11 that is the second highest season total for Allen, who's had 2 years below 10 - one of them being well below 10, two years ago. |

I voted no but I do not see him getting a $100 million either from anybody.

Well get more.
My guess: 1/3rd this year. Conditional 1-3 pick next year? something like that

You make good points about him, but we'll just agree to disagree what his worth is (and can be). Just to be official, I understand the risks he brings with him, and understand why the Chiefs would try to trade him now, in his prime (even if I do think it sucks to give away an impact player on a team that needs every impact player it can get his hands on). |

A guy who wants to be paid like an elite DE who's a year removed from a pedestrian 7.5 sacks doesn't scream consistency to me. Like you said, agree to disagree. |

So, Allen is asking for 100 million guaranteed? The lengths some people go to support their position. Why not ask a poll - would you rather keep Jared Allen or get a 1st and 3rd and take Ben Moffit with the 1st and a kicker with the 3rd.
