I would try to talk to him about how much winning a SB means to him.

Because Chris Jones and Aaron Donald are the only "pass rushers" that have won SB's while making top money (e.g. % of the cap) in the past decade or so. Even Von Miller wasn't making >10% of the cap back when Denver won a title. Even if you want to look at teams who are consistently elite, only San Fran has consistently had high $$ money resources in PR/Edge. They have done so because they don't have to pay their QB, which the Jags will have to in a few years.

So I would basically offer like a huge bonuses for DPoY votes and All Pro selections. Like way more than you normally see, like $1 million per all Pro selection, and like $10-5K per voting point in DPoY voting. Because that is the type of production you need from a guy making that amount of money on the DL in order to win. Otherwise it just doesn't work.

I think you have to figure out some contract that has most of the cap space hit in first few years of the contract instead of having backloaded like it normally is. But I think at this point they basically have no choice to pay him. They have so many other holes on the team, and there are no force multipliers in the FO or coaching staff to expect them to use the cap space gain/draft picks well if they trade Allen.
