Feels weird linking a BR but the guy writing it not some no-name blogger.
"As reported here last week, former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen was asking for some big money at the start of free agency. His contract hopes may have something to do with the fact that Allen has yet to latch on with a team. Now that the first wave of free agency has passed, Allen's camp has put out the word that he would be willing to sacrifice some money if he thinks he can win a championship. But even if he were to join an upper-echelon team, Allen still is hoping for a salary in the vicinity of $6 million a year. Whether he will get that much at this point is debatable. But the Seattle Seahawks could be the team that fits him best."
**** the Seahawks and their min-salary QB situation.
That said, we're around $7 mill and will probably free up $2.5m by cutting Joel Dreesen. We can free up another $3m by letting Jacob Tamme and his 1 TD on 20 catches for 184 yards go.
So the question is, would you free up $5.5 by cutting the two of them to sign Allen? It would allow us to still have a good $5-6 mill or so for the draft, etc.
On the flip side, signing him would limit Quanterus Smith. However, he's an unknown.
