Jared Allen reportedly not coming to Dallas...signing with Seattle

[Nirvana]

We can live without Allen. We've got Bass.

Sounds to me like he just doesn't want to play for Dallas, no matter the offer.

If that were the case doubt he even takes the visit. He certainly isn't giving us a price break to sign though.

its all good. we got melton now. it was gona be either or not both neway

@clarencehilljr: Cowboys got melton but doesnt look good with Allen. His contract demand was too high and he has had no contact with cowboys since he left..

Clarence was the same guy that said it wasn't looking good for the Cowboys that the hometown kid was leaving without a contract. I'm convinced now that these guys have no clue what's going on. I bet I wake up in the morning and Allen is signed too.

Actually he re-tweeted Calvin Watkins, just sayin!

I can see us going with Spencer or Corey Wooten with the leftover $ to play the LDE spot. There are plenty of options there though, including Crawford, Mincey, and plenty of potential draft picks.

Just posted another thread with this same thought...

There were just saying on NFLN that Allen is going to consider all the offers over the weekend with his wife. They kind of made it sound like it was between Dallas and Seattle.

If Allen isn't in Seattle next season I'll be shocked. Perfect place for him to finish his career. He can be a situational pass rusher and just pin his ears back. They fit his personality perfectly. They are Superbowl favorites. They also have more free cap space at the moment. It just makes too much sense.

Sports analysts on Twitter have it easy. Much like a meteorologist that moonlights as a pathological liar, you can never be wrong.

Observe the following tweet one can create:

"Allen not looking good to go to Big D. That said, JJ always gets his man"

 

[TheSport78]

If Allan signs I think the Cowboys target Pryor.

Or Zack Martin

 

[cowboys1981]

Let's sign DE Will Smith. He's only a yr older and would be ALOT cheaper.

 

[MRV52]

We used our coupon with Melton, I guess that Allen doesn't accept coupons.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Yea, would love to have JA but I think he goes to Seattle if the money is similar.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

If we really want Allen, I don't see how we don't match or top Seattle's pathetic one-year, $4 million offer.

Except Allen specifically said he does not want to be a situational player at this juncture of his career. He'd rather retire than accept that role. And I believe that is exactly the role being offered him in Seattle. He can be the focal point of the D in Dallas. I am still holding out hope. Allen would add an edge to this D, Jerry needs to see that is exactly the kind of leader/playmaker that the Cowboys have lacked.

 

[JBond]

He doesn't fit the rebuild anyway.

I love Allen and but he will cost too much. 20 million in dead cap money does effect things.

Oh really? I hadn't caught that. Boy, that's a lot of pride on the line. To tell you the truth, I don't even want him here s an every down DE.

i wouldnt believe that just yet. if he does go there for that i dont think he wouldve came here anyways. he would be going there for a shot a ring and i cant blame him for that,
