The Cincinnati Bengals took a big swing on Jonathan Allen.

So let's talk with someone who just watched him for a year about what he's got left in the tank.

I'm Jake.

Let's go join today by Luke Braun from Locked-on Vikings, our film

grinding friend from the NFC North who has some thoughts about Jonathan Allen.

And I thought, where better to go than a guy who I know who has just watched Jonathan Allen at a higher level of detail

than any of us in the Bengals world have for the last year.

And so we'll talk with Luke about what exactly it is and we should be expecting from

John Allen as he joins the Bengals on that two-year 26 to $28 million deal with some incentives involved that,

fortunately for the Vikings means that they escape some of those dollars that were guaranteed

with offset language.

But we're not as interested in that part of things, Luke, as we are interested in.

What exactly should we expect from Jonathan Allen taking on, I assume a prominent role

for the money he's been signed for with the Cincinnati Bengals after a year where

the production maybe wasn't quite as strong.

And if I can just let him go, I think maybe you start with, well, you would have liked to have seen Minnesota keep,

Alec, correct?
