The Indianapolis Colts have signed second-round pick, linebacker CJ Allen, to his rookie deal, and Over the Cap has the contract details and salary cap hits.
This four-year deal for Allen totals $9.128 million, which averages out to $2.282 million per year. Of that total contract value, $7.63 million is fully guaranteed. This includes a signing bonus of $3.099 million.
Allen will earn a base salary of $885,000 for the 2026 season, and that figure will increase each season. His salary is guaranteed for the first three years.
The aforementioned signing bonus will be prorated for salary cap purposes, accounting for $774,808 against the cap each season.
Allen will have the opportunity to be an immediate starter for the Colts at linebacker. He will look to become the first rookie under Lou Anarumo to wear the green dot -- a role Anarumo believes Allen can fill after his time at Georgia.
Allen ranked among the best in run defense over both the 2024 and 2025 seasons, according to PFF's metrics. He's been a very sound tackler. In coverage, he allowed 10.6 yards per catch in 2025, with three pass breakups.
Allen, 21, was named a first-team All-American following the 2025 season.
