There were absolutely a few people that wanted to give Yawn more than what he was offered and he was already offered much more than he was worth, they were saying give him whatever he wants.    I wanted to resign Yawn as well until I seen the contract he turned down yet you were one of the ones that still wanted to give him 20+ and whatever he wanted.  Allen has always been better than Yawn though even before this year, I don't care about the sack numbers

So I didn't want to, but I would have? Makes zero sense.. Why would I make Allen the highest paid player in league history last year if I didn't want to?? You guys wanted to trade him last year before the deadline, but now suddenly he was in the conversation of being the highest paid player this past off season? What mental gymnastics are you trying to use here?

We likely could of extended him at like $16-18m+ per last year, instead we're looking $23-25m+ per now. The team [BLEEP] around and found out. Good for Allen.

Nobody knows truly what Yan was offered, only twitter rumors, so stop with that. Also, you don't care about sack numbers when it comes to Yan, but you care about sack numbers when it comes to Bosa, or other players not named Yan right? Hilarious.

Might want to read the post again.  I don't rember many people at all wanting to trade Allen except maybe a  couple people on here and Tony Wiggins.  I wanted to extend him for the right price.  You dont you know what we could of extended him for last year, none of us do. Try to work out a deal that's good for both sides, make him a top 5 edge and if he's asking to be the highest paid player tag him.  If he has another year like this year then talk again next year.  The tag is there for a reason.  

As far as Yawn, we do know what he was offered.  It wasn't some "rumor" tweet that came from a fan.  Tom Pellisaro reported the offer and Yawn turned it down.  It wasn't long after, he fired his agent when he realized how much money he lost and he made a huge mistake.   Way more than he was worth, we were going to make him the 4th highest paid DE yet he wanted more.   " Pay Yawn whatever he wants" lol
