Although terms of the deal were not disclosed, the NFL’s rookie slotted system shows that Allen is projected to make $22.8 million over four years and the deal also includes a signing bonus of about $14.6 million due at the time of the signing.
Allen was taken with the 7th overall pick in the NFL draft by the Jaguars. He’s already participated in a rookie mini-camp and was the last of the rookie’s to take care of his contract.
