Jon Gruden arrived in Tampa Bay in 2002 wielding a considerable amount of influence over personnel and other decisions. When the Glazer family coughed up two first-round draft picks, a pair of seconds and a cool $8-million, well, it was certainly implied Gruden would be heard. Gruden still enjoys a great deal of influence and probably always will. But here's what has changed: General manager Bruce Allen might be gaining on him. It has become apparent through a series of behind-the-scenes events and by reading between a lot of lines that Allen's profile has grown. He's no longer your garden-variety salary cap manager. Even Gruden seemed reconciled to this as recently as draft day when the Bucs chose cornerback Aqib Talib as their No. 1 pick.
