He's in top 5 of sack totals for the season... 

Top 5 highest paid Edge rushers is at 15 million.

Offer him 13 million with incentives, and if he want to steal money like Juwaan Taylor, let him walk.  Allen isn't great.  He's good.  But I'd rather pay my LBers and Secondary studs than waste money on a dude that is on a contract year and yet was invisible against the Texans, Chiefs, and Bills.

He's making 10 Million this year as the top 8 Edge rusher.  Give him another 3 in incentives and maybe a signing bonus.  But if you pay Josh Allen top 1 or 2 Edge rusher money, you are an idiot.  He's not that good, ya'll.  He's never been that good.  He's good enough to keep.  But if he has Yannick/Ramsey delusions of grandeur, let them go waste another team's cap space.

Oloukon is getting paid $21.7m next year (and I will fist fight anyone who says he isn't worth it) Williams is getting paid $10.5m, Jenkins is earning $12.2m

Who are these LB's and DB's we aren't paying?

Don't bother.

He's just pulling random numbers out of his backside regarding Allen because he doesn't value his impact the way any sane NFL front office would. 

Barring something weird happening down the stretch - The Jags will make an offer to keep Josh Allen and tag if they can't agree. 
They aren't stupid. 

Cap management at other spots is going to get reaaalllly interesting this offseason though. 

And I have your back in any fist-fight over #23. What a great signing that was. Worth every penny.
