I would've made him a good offer last offseason, not a bargain basement one, nor would I have dragged it out. I don't think Allen wanted to play on the Option, but that's Baalke's M.O. for these things, push it all to the last minute. Once we got to mid-season this year it was into Bosa Money territory, though some folks on here thought to be unrealistic.

34.5 mil less than Bosa, i would't call that Bosa territory.  Do you still think this is a bad look on the franchise since Allen didnt set the market?

I think he hit the $30 per year number I said he would and that you said he wouldn't. I never said that he was only worth ~$20 per like you did. The market was already set, this contract is in line with him being the most expensive defensive player signed this offseason, so yeah, the contract is fine. Most people are not happy that it took this long and the opportunity cost in FA was excessive. When I have time later I'll explain to you what those words mean and why they matter.
