This year their numbers are comperable, and Josh will get paid as a top 10 edge rusher, but until he proves otherwise with consistency, Josh is not = TJ Watt.

This season? ok.

If the Jags did what I was pounding the table for, for the past two years (and especially this past off season), he wouldn't be getting anywhere close to TJ money and we'd already have him locked up. Instead, at least half of this fan base wanted to trade him last year because he apparently wasn't any good and was easily replaceable.

The team proceeded to then double down and they [BLEEP] around and found out. Now they're going to have to pony up top dollar due to it.

Allen has always been consistent. The problem is he hasn't had a capable Pass Rusher on the other side of him since his rookie season. He finally has another one now in Walker who's getting better and better as the weeks go on.

At the end of the day, it's a what have you done for me lately league and lately, Allen is one of the best in the business. He isn't going to get paid due to what he did in years prior, he's going to get paid due to what he has did lately, aka this season. And what he has did this season deserves to be paid top dollar.
