I think it's unlikely that Jared Allen weighed any more than that this past season. He was decidedly slimmer than in the past.
260 isn't a problem for a RDE if it's a SOLID 260. If he's kinda soft at 260, then he needs to drop it or convert to muscle. Being a little shorter there isn't a problem either, as it can help with getting lower than the typically taller, heavier LT's.
I guess I'm saying it all depends on the individual. Lighter DE's can be found doing rather well in the NFL at that spot.
