This could be Alvin's last year as a Saint and it would be a massive mistake by Allen

The Alvin situation is totally flexible for a simple reason -- if Kubiak succeeds, and he proves he is the indispensable lynchpin to the Kubiak offense, and Alvin is thriving ... he's not going anywhere. He puts up 1400 total yards and he's here like Cam Jordan for another few years.

If the offense doesn't work or Alvin isn't a star in it, he's gone.

I hope that's the case, but also think they could have taken care of him prior to running him into the ground like they will this year. Even if he puts up 1400 yards and 10 TD's next year on 400 touches. He's going to get devalued on the open market anyway because of his age and then recent usage, so it's a catch 22 for him. That's why I've always taken stance team could have given him security via extra years prior to the season if they wanted to.

There's no excuse for Age etc when Taysom is almost 6 years older and no one is using that same logic and we extended him another year knowing we're going to use the hell out of him too.
