From the episode

I thought that the salary made it work with Braylon and the Puka, which is really what I wanted to do the whole time.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Allen was core to the Nix-Puka stack the source wanted to build.

Part of the optimal stack with Bo Nix in Week 7; the source wanted to pair Braylon Allen with Puka Nacua and Bo Nix, and the salary structure made this configuration work despite optimizer suggestions favoring other plays.
