Also, what a plan that is.. Lets piss off one of our best players by tagging Allen for this season. If he has another season like this one they can then talk next off season. So yea, let's piss him off and only continue to drive the price up even more by delaying it again. Then not only do we have to worry about Lawrence's mega deal, we also have to worry about Allen's mega deal in the same off season.. That's [BLEEP] brilliant.

Ok then lets see this tweet by Tom then. Does it show the amount, the years, the guarantees? Lets see it.

I don't remember that many people. 

I think making him an offer that would make him a top 5 edge is fair and if that passes him off because he wants to be the highest paid defender in the league than fine. I mean he had a great season but he's never even made All Pro.   Do you know how many great players get tagged?  It's there for a reason

You're the only person with the thought stuck in his head the he only wants to be the highest paid Defensive player in the NFL for your argument.

As for that Yan stuff, yea not surprising. A short term contract with likely very little guarantees in the league that's all about how much guaranteed money you can make. There's a reason why the guaranteed amount always comes 1st, the years amount 2nd and the total $$ 3rd.

There were also rumors that those numbers were leaked by the Jags front office to try and make them look better, which I'd agree. Makes them look good on the surface, but they keep the actual numbers very vague.
