Allen was on the NFL Network's Total Access show tonight:
The Green Bay GM, Brian Gutekunst, talked about Lazard in a recent interview that I seen on Twitter. Sounds like he loves Lazard and the way he broke out last year. I dont see Lazard leaving GB any time soon.Great to see Allen making all his doubters eat crow. I imagine he will be back with Green Bay unless they think he's over priced. Someone will want him though.
Over priced? Wasn’t he in a minimum contract? I would think with his performance, price is what would keep him on the team.Great to see Allen making all his doubters eat crow. I imagine he will be back with Green Bay unless they think he's over priced. Someone will want him though.
Someone posted earlier with his usage stats he should be making around 3 mil. If that's what his agent asks for he might not end up there. Just a possibility, but if there is a spot on the Packers for Allen, barring another team promising him a spot, I assume he will be there regardless of the money.Over priced?

i think if the packers offer a minimum salary they get to keep him.Very cool. If he is an exclusive-rights free agent doesn't that mean any other team can offer a bigger contract to which the Packers would have to match to keep him?
Yep, that was my understanding too.Very cool. If he is an exclusive-rights free agent doesn't that mean any other team can offer a bigger contract to which the Packers would have to match to keep him?
yes this is correcti think if the packers offer a minimum salary they get to keep him.

Can he not waive and go to the free agency? Not being sarcastic I don't know.He is a Restricted free agent... The Packers get to keep him next year for a relatively small price (not significantly more than the minimum). I believe it is next year where he becomes an unrestricted free agent and then there would be a decision for GB. But no decision given the price they get to pay for next season... it's a done deal.

I think its to mimic a rookie contract that people drafted haveCan he not waive and go to the free agency? Not being sarcastic I don't know.
