Baalke said today they've met with Allen's agent and were scheduled for another meeting today. 

If either side is gaming to push numbers up or down - it will likely be from Allen's camp IMO. (based on what I read about his agent)

news of the cap making an unexpected jump up probably got his agent all kinds of hot and bothered.

It may make negotiation more difficult or have us see some higher than expected contract numbers.  Agents are going to be pushing the narrative that the cap will continue to go up 10+% per year moving forward and that matters in contracts that go out several years.  Was this an outlier year or should we be expecting 10+% increases annually moving forward?

Can you imagine what the cream of the crop NFL player salaries are going to look like in 10 years?
