The thing I like most, about Allen, is that he is a football player. He does everything he can (on the field) to help the team succeed. He chases running plays from behind, he always gets his hands in the air, when the ball is thrown. He does the kind of things,on every down, that alot of players never do. He puts fourth a "top-tier" effort. He is willing to scratch and claw his way to the football.
Here......he is a better defensive end than Freeney. Freeney is nothing more than a pass-rusher. Jared Allen is a complete player. (again, on the field)
The Chiefs won't be giving him a big contract, because we have to give his money, Sammy Knights money, Kyle Turleys money and a whole lot more, to Larry " I'm gonna cry, no matter how much I get the ball" Johnson.
The salary cap has been raised by, I think, about 35%. We are slashing salaries, so we can give the world to the baby. So, it's O.K. to listen to L.J. pout and whine, but real football players just need to shut up and accept that the real "cancer" is going to get their money.
