He is our 3rd best DT yet will command top DT money. And even though he is everything you want in a player off the field, he is just an average guy on it.

I'd strongly disagree about him being just a guy. He's a top 20 interior lineman according to PFF (18th overall). Payne was 38th last year. Settle was 43rd and Ioannidis 54th.

Ioannidis was injured last season.

Yeah he didn't have enough snaps to qualify but I put him on there anyway for reference. Neither did Settle.

Some tough decisions coming up. I would like to keep Matty I. as interior pass rush. Making any o line account for Young and Sweat on the sides and Matty in the middle would be an effort in futility.

Strongly disagree.
I've been a Settle supporter, I think he's underrated, but Allen's potential is bigger. He is very consistent and has some games where he is just a monster.

Throw in the work ethic and you know this staff wants him back.
We have a young roster, and thus cap available, I see nothing wrong with trying to retain what this team is built on: freakish Dline!

No way Allen is JAG. He is probably also not nearly as good as the money he commands. Not an easy decision, think it comes down to what he can be signed for. Dumping Moses' salary makes keeping Allen much more probable, or at least possible.

I suppose this was really what I was trying to say about Allen. He simply isn't worth paying top DT money which is what he will probably ask for.

And I stand by what I said - he is our 3rd best DT.
