In between picks of our mock draft, I wanted to throw a tidbit of info out there about Jared Allen's salary. Naturally, his next deal, will be a lot bigger than his rookie 4th rounder contract. I knew we were getting JA cheap but I didn't know how cheap until I looked at his salary history.
| Year | Base Salary | Sign Bonus | Other Bonus | Total Salary | Cap Value |
| 2007 | $2,350,000 | $0 | $360 | $2,073,889 | $2,073,889 |
| 2006 | $425,000 | $0 | $1,870 | $426,870 | $521,038 |
| 2005 | $305,000 | $0 | $4,620 | $309,620 | $403,786 |
| 2004 | $230,000 | $282,500 | $0 | $512,500 | $324,166 |
The next three defensive ends behind Jared Allen in the 2007 sack lead -- Patrick Kerney, Mario Williams and Usi Umenyiora-- received tens of millions in yearly salary in their first years in the league. Almost no matter what JA's new contract is, the Chiefs have a great deal on their hands.
I'd love to know what bonus netted Allen $360 last year.
