Carroll says Jared Allen deal still pending - ALLEN TO BEARS

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday that things are still pending on the possibility of signing free-agent defensive end Jared Allen.

“It’s a big business decision for him,” Carroll said in an interview on SiriusXM radio at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando. “We’re very restricted on what we can do. We have a lot of concerns and can’t move as swiftly as everyone would like. We have a lot of work to get done. We’re excited about extending and stuff like that.”

Carroll probably is referring to free safety Earl Thomas and cornerback Richard Sherman, both of whom would be free agents at the end of the 2014 if the team doesn’t work out contract extensions for them.

Thomas will count $5.5 million against the salary cap this year and Sherman will count $1.5 million. Both players probably are looking for deals worth more than $10 million per season.

The Seahawks are believed to have offered Allen a two-year deal at more $6 million per season.

Well this IS an update...I'm glad Pete mentioned the extensions as a priority meaning they may be working on all 3 deals at once(Allen, Thomas, and Sherm)...BEAUTIFUL

$6 million per, and he's gotta think about it? No wonder the guy is unemployed.

Six mill a year for two years and he hasn't signed what the hell. I'm not sure he's worth that kind of investment so at this point I really don't care if the deal falls through.

I still don't care, and d the longer he waits the less I care. We are the TEAM anyone should want to play for... sorry, I AM biased!!

Hurry up Jared. Less money=superbowl. More money=cowboys=8-8. Make a decision.

This time you're spot on if that's true. I don't get why money would be such a huge priority to him at this point it makes me think other factors must be in play.

The word "extensions" gives me more pleasure than any news regarding Jared Allen will.

Are you that horny?

$6 million a year represents an $11 million dollar annual pay-cut. I admit I have not closely followed the salaries of aging pro-bowlers joining new teams for a last hoorah- but when does this happen? I think players signing with more competitive teams for that kind of discount is wishful thinking at best.

Drop the offer to 5 million...The longer you wait the less you are worth..I don't think we need him that badly.

I thought it WAS 5 million. This is the first time I heard it may be 6 million.

HansGruber · Mar 24, 2014

John Clayton was saying 6, but numbers never come out until deals are signed.

One thing's for sure, it's not about money. When you get to a certain point, it's about ego. I think Clayton ifs probably right about that. I wouldn't take a 50% pay cut in my prime. Or even past my prime. Nor would most of us.

But I'd rather have the cap rolled forward for Sherman, Thomas or Wilson

In this case? Please do already. Those extension talks should be the priority anyway.

dunceface · Mar 24, 2014

"Extensions" *swoon*
