So there's a very good chance he may be one and done in Chicago. If that's the case we'll need to replace him as early as 2025 and we have that opportunity in this draft.
Like I posted to Heinz it was in something Biggs wrote. Check out his columns in the Trib. I don't have a subscription right now.
Let's look at it from a common sense point of view. Allen refused to take a pay cut in SD. Allen gets traded. We have him for one year at $23 mil but given his age is that the kind of money Poles will want to offer him on an extension? My guess would be that an extension has been brought up but not specific dollar amounts. If both sides are trying to determine a fair number FA is one way of doing it. Whether or not Poles would tag him is yet to be seen. Let's see how well he produces this year.
We all know how a columnist describes something and what the actual facts are can often be two different things entirely.
