And he certainly wasn’t worth $7 million a year.

Plus, the man was the king of the offsides penalty.

If he still loves the game and loves dominating tackles in the league (which he still does on a regular basis) I don’t see why he shouldn’t continue to play. Larry is still “THE” top gaurd in the league, remember John Lynch when he left the Bucs. The media said he was too slow to play and he should retire and all that…..and just look at him. Still arguably the hardest hitting safety in the league and an effective playmaker. Larry Allen may not be as fast or agile as he once was but, pound for pound there isn’t a stronger man in the NFL. The next time you see 2005 Cowboy highlights and you see Drew Bledsoe dropping back in the pocket, just take a second to see what Larry Allen is doing to his man before he fades out of the picture (because of course the camera won’t be focused on a lineman) and i’m sure you’ll see a dominating force throwing his fists into a DT struggling to hold his ground….and funny enough this dominating force wears number 73.
