offbyone Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 There is a good chance we are going to spend some money on a real qb. There is also a good chance we go out and prioritize getting a WR. We also have to get a CB. That suddenly thins out the cap space. You can't have them both. Pick one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripsean21 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It’s Brandon. DL rotate. OL dont. Also if I’m thinking forward Allen is the player I move to make sure Payne is the interior DL I can keep. Also it’s why I work now to reup Settle to a team friendly deal like we did Matt before. In fact now is when I start feelers for Matt to gauge his value. It’s a reason why I don’t shy away from drafting value at DL going forward. We will always need new young depth to put behind Payne Tez and Chase because I find a way to make that work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Scherff. I like Allen but he's probably our 4th, possibly 5th best Dlineman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 If I had to Chose - which we won’t bc we can keep both - I’d trade Allen but, he’s not a free agent. Is that not known? 2021 is Jon Allen’s 5th year option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbyone Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 I would keep Allen. They are both great players, but Scherff can't stay healthy and Allen is more consistent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is a awesome player but he’s the odd man out for me i fixed the post too Edited January 27, 2021 by ripsean21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSkinGM Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Well, what's Allen gonna cost vs Scherff? I think we can sign a very good guard in F A for HALF of what Scherff wants . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 You can’t resign all of these Dlineman. It’s just a reality. Someone is going to be the odd man out. My bet is Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinthehouse Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I picked Sherff over Allen, but I had to think for a second. It's pretty close... It probably tilted Sherffs favor because we have Ionitus & Settle still on the team. But Allen is a hell of a player for us. Him & Payne are a great combination. Take Sherff off our line & we might see a Macy's Day Parade to our QB & that makes me nervous. I'd prefer to keep them both, if we can.

Allen is a awesome player but he’s the odd man out for me i fixed the post too That's a good point by Mar though, also, Scherff is 29, going to be 30 next December, while Allen is less injury prone and just turned 26. When you put it all together, Allen's contract should be cheaper as he's not a multi-pro bowler, Scherff was an All-Pro last year bc Zach Martin and others were lost for the season w/ injuries so, Allen's contract should be cheaper. We can keep both guys, and should keep both guys, but I think with what @mar29020 brought up and @offbyone we should keep Allen, so I change my vote. If we had to but again, we don't, I'd let Scherff Walk in FA, take the 3rd round comp in 2022 and re-sign the younger and more impactful Allen. Then, I'd take the BPA OG in round 1 or 2 when we pick - depending on who's available in other positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is 3 years younger, probably going to be cheaper to re-sign and he's more durable. Those are factors to consider as well. We also can draft an OG in round 1 or 2 to replace Sherff should we not retain him, which I can't imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbyone Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 I get the sense a lot of people feel like, "If we are going to lose a player on the Dline it should be Allen." The issue with that is you have no idea if the other guys will even want to stay or they could have career ending injuries, etc. The only way to keep the band together is to start with Allen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is Allen. we can actually, Dallas affords all these high priced players, we have like one guy that is high priced in landon on the books rn now. Wsh could get creative with contracts and front load them or something to sign all of them, it is possible to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
