How can the Vikings justify the signing of Jared Allen who has been arrested multiple times for drunken driving to a $74 million deal ($31 million guaranteed) when in 2006 they released Koren Robinson for the same thing?
What does this say about Minnesota's new responsible environment they are trying to create?
Jared says he has quit drinking but there has been no sign of professional help.

Apparently if the player is more valuable, then it is ok if he violates your standards? Is that what is happening here?

He sounds like a guy who has learned from his past mistakes. As for the possibility of getting suspended, after the second game of the year (I believe) the league forgives his past because he has been good for the previous 2 years.
