Him and his agent know that. That may mean the Bengals will have to overpay to keep someone who knows this "system," until Burrow is back. Mike Brown may or may not pay for that.
I'm not saying Allen has now positioned himself to be the next starting franchise QB in the NFL, but I think he is looking like at least one of top 32 backups in the league, and that is all you need to be. He was PS before and now has started and won...with the Bengals! Yeah, there's a draft in the fall, but between retirements and players cut, Allen has a place. Cincy would be good, but have to see what the pay rate is. For example, I'd rather be sitting behind Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Alex Smith or Phillip Rivers next year.
