Jared Allen retiring

[RoaringRiot]

Not surprised. Really cool guy. Always liked him even before he became a Panther. Wish we could have fulfilled his (and our) dream.

So I guess my question still stands. Could he come out of retirement like Finnegan did? Does retiring nullify his contract? Just wondering. I'm not well versed on NFL contracts. 

Finnegan never submitted retirement papers to the NFL so technically he wasn't retired. Until Allen submits the retirement paperwork he could come back. 

To me, it was a very big deal that he came into our locker room & accepted it as family & worked to fit in plus help instruct the younger guys. He had never been in a situation like that before. I've always liked him too. Lunch pail, leave it all on the field type of guy.

RIP to the greatest hair of all time. Patrick Kane comes close though

We fulfilled part of a dream at least.  He got to play in a Super Bowl.

Would you like for me to tell you where to place it? :)

Good for him. Still has all his marbles and can still walk. Enjoy life and do what you love. Thanks for the help in 2015.

There are people who would dispute that he ever did.

Really wish we could've gotten him a ring.

Him an Peanut, too. They deserved it.

see is players like this are the reason i really wish we would have won the super bowl.

I love TD and Jared and all kinds of old vets that play the game with respect and integrity.

LOVE them.

But, and I admit being selfish about this, the primary reason I wanted the Panthers to win the SuperBowl was to make ME happy.

Sorry 'bout that.  :(

Thanks, Jared.  It was a pleasure having you this year and you helped the young guys get better.

Kony Ealy loved that dude.

No surprise Ealy stepped his game up so much this year.  Hell, I think ultimately that is going to be the ultimate payoff from having Allen here: the effect he had on Kony Ealy.
