He’s had a roller coaster ride but one thing that stands out …

His ability to tackle well in space. At FSU, you saw traits of that but boy he’s really impressed me in the “head up/chin up, wrap up” tackling.

IMO this is lost in “todays” NFL.

Who wouldn’t want Allen on their team ?

He’s played with trash QBs most of his career and still solid production.

BMW M5 price tag though …

I'm pretty sure we've lobbied for Allen multiple times and hes always chosen a different team.

Allen is more of a WRx, but I'd agree, he's a fantastically great underrated WR...

I'd be eyeing the more affordable WRz (i.e. Sanders) to complement Thomas...

If we could get a first and a third for Mike, then sign Allen for less - that'd be a sweet move...

Some bargains at WRz in the FA Market in Emmanuel Sanders, D.J. Chark, Anthony Miller, Sammy Watkins, Christian Kirk, Will Fuller, and more of a slot, Adam Humphries...

Was reading on PFF that Gallup is expected to get Four years, $55 million ($13.75M per year, $32.5 million total guaranteed) - that's looks to be cost prohibitive...

PFF also projected that WR Allen Robinson looked to earn Three years, $48 million ($16M per year, $30 million total guaranteed) vs CantGuardMike at $22M/Year...

So if bridges can't be mended, we could always get a min first and a third for CantGuardMike, so long as we sign Allen Robinson - just spitballin' possibilities...
