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.


Yes he does factor into it. And they offered 19mil and then a franchise tag so clearly they aren't "trying to move on". What you're doing is giving my words your own meaning in order to be what I assume you think, is correct. If they Jags didn't have Allen right now they wouldn't hesitate to give yan 21-22, simple as that
