Jared Allen was accompanied on his second visit to the
Seattle Seahawks by his wife, family members and his agent. But any sense they were brought together presuming an introductory news conference disintegrated when they left Seahawks headquarters and returned to their family offseason home in Arizona without finalizing a contract or otherwise committing to join the defending Super Bowl champions.
In a text message later Thursday, Allen said, "We are heading home and will consider their offer and I'll make my decision this weekend."
Earlier, league sources described the Seahawks and Allen as working on the final details of a contract that -- barring unforeseen developments -- would be signed as soon as Thursday.
Ken Harris, who represents Allen, indicated the player had more than just Seattle's offer to deliberate before making a commitment. The only other team Allen is known to have visited was the
Dallas Cowboys, who signed defensive tackle
Henry Melton earlier this week. Sources indicated that the Cowboys were not interested in also signing Allen unless he lowered his contract demands.
