Jared Allen to restructure?
Jared Allen - DL - Minnesota Vikings
Jan. 30, 2013 - 5:45 PM ET

ESPN 1500 Twin Cities expects the Vikings to approach RE Jared Allen about restructuring his contract.

Coming off a hit-or-miss season, Allen is due a whopping $14.3 million in 2013, and will count more than $17 million against the cap. It's not an outrageous sum of money for a player with Allen's pedigree, but he's recovering from the first surgery (shoulder) of his career, and will turn 31 in April. Entering the final season of the six-year, $73.260 million deal he signed in 2008, Allen should be open to restructuring if it's in the form of an extension.
