2 visits, one contract in hand, Jared Allen went home with a decision to make. Even though the details are not public, one suspects that the money isn't what Allen feels is close to his perceived value ($10 million/year player). And, with the Seahawks, his on-field role would be different to what Allen is accustomed to.
If recent history applies, the deal may be similar to Michael Bennett's first contract with the Hawks - a one year deal with an opportunity to then shop himself after a successful season.
There's much for Allen to consider. Are the Seahawks on the cusp of another championship run? Can Allen be as effective (posting great stats) with less playing time? Are the other teams he's considering offering deals closer to Allen's liking?
Thus, the Seahawks and the 12s wait for Allen's decision.
