On Thursday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler revealed that former Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Jonathan Allen has agreed to a two-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals that has a max value of $28 million.
On the surface, it just seems like Allen finding a way to convince another team to pay him way too much money again. But thanks to this reported deal from the Bengals, the Vikings' salary cap situation is expected to experience an unexpected benefit.
According to SKOR North's Thor Nystrom on Thursday, Allen had offset language in his contract, and he shared how the defensive lineman's new reported deal with Cincinnati should help Minnesota.
