Actually, if he were on the open market, Allen would probably be getting Bosa money right now.  The fact that he's facing two tags might rein that in a tad.  We'll see soon enough.

Yep, agreed. I struggle to understand how people don't see the "Highest paid at the position" is an ever increasing target and often being the best in the free agent class outweighs the contracts signed in the past. So what if Bosa is the highest paid player, he's not on the market. The guy who is on the market today has access to move more cap money than anyone else ever, so the idea that contracts won't approach and supplant the old ones just doesn't make sense.
