As much as I want to extend him I wouldn't do that.   There is always a limit on any player.  With that said we should make him the first 100 mil dollar player in Jags history.  4 yr 100 mil.  It would make him a top 5 paid edge defender

That would be fair. He has not had the kind of consistent production Bosa has.

Are you sure about this? Did you look at a comparison?  They both came out 2019 in the same draft. So both have 5 years.
Allen played in 74 games, Bosa 68, so Allen had 6 more games. That can be actually a plus as he was available more.

Totals for 5 years
Tackles Bosa 209, Allen 259
Solo tackles Bosa 150, Allen 162
Assists Bosa 59, Allen 89
Sacks Bosa 53.5, Allen 45

Per game
Tackles Bosa 3.07, Allen 3.39
Solo tackles Bosa 2.21, Allen 2.19
Assists Bosa 0.87, Allen 1.2
Sacks Bosa 0.79, Allen 0.61

Actually, surprised me there was very little difference between them.  Both missed games in their second year. that was the year that swung the games  to +6 by Allen.  One also has to take into account on the Jags, other offenses did not have much other than Allen to worry about rushing the QB till Walker came on. Their camp has to be looking at this. The only thing really missing is pressures. I haven't yet found a reliable source for that. These came from ESPN.
