That was more than likely the plan and hopes all along. At the minimum you tag him. So there's that and then you try and draft his replacement once again.

Not sure I want Baalke here for that decision though.

Drafting Walker should have nothing to do with the decision to re-sign Allen or not. You need more than 1 pass rusher in this league. If we lose Allen we're [BLEEP]. They aren't going to be able to replace him.

I hear you but I feel like that is there logic. To be fair. Josh hasn't hit home like this sack wise since his rookie season.

He has plenty of time to set the new franchise mark. I know you need two guys but it feels like you shouldn't have to invest top picks like we did in Chaisson and Walker to compensate.

This front office being dog [BLEEP] at finding good impact players along the lines consistently on both sides continues to haunt them.

I don't think his track record demands a market to be set at his position. TJ Watt has that set in stone for now.

I think $16.5M per year for 5 years, maybe front loaded with some heavy incentives towards the backend to motivate him as he gets up there in age is reasonable.

It puts him at 5th highest. Right above guys like Joey Bosa, Rashaan Gary and Randy Gregory. Which is fair.

I don't think Jenkins is out next year unless his play declines.  His dead cap would be over 7 mil.  2025 we have a lot of money come off the books and we will need it

We'll see. Tough cuts ahead and decisions to be made soon for sure.
