Having Allen doesn't preclude the need for another pass rusher like Ngakoue.

I didn't say the team didn't want/need both of them. I said they are willing to pay him 19 and not 21-22 because they have Allen. I didn't think it could be misunderstood. 

You aren't being misunderstood. You're just incorrect in your reasoning.  

Allen is on a rookie deal and will get his money in 2022 or 2023. Having Allen isn't keeping the Jags from paying  Yan amount X or amount Y.  Not at all.  The Jags tagged Ngakoue and want to keep him long term and he's determined to play elsewhere. Allen just doesn't factor in to that. 

Allen has almost zero to do with this aside from the fact that at least the team would still have one top tier player on the line if Yan refuses to play or deal. That's not something that encourages a GM to move on from an impactful pass-rusher like Ngakoue.
