Savage Beatings Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Heard on KFAN on my way to lunch today (sorry no link yet)... reporting that Jay Glazer is saying that both the Vikes and the Bucs are in deep trade negotiations for Chiefs DE Jared Allen. They said Allen is coming to Minnesota this weekend, and tentatively scheduled to visit Tampa next week as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) That's a credible rumor. It's been a very poorly kept secret that MIN wants a good DE in the worst way, and they haven't had much luck in drafting one with high picks in recent years. Allen is playing as well as any DE in the league right now, but he does have the suspension issue looming over him. I wouldn't be surpised in the least to see MIN swap their first rounder to KC for Allen and a lower pick - with the one caveat that Peterson is such a damned cheap GM and that trade would entail his paying for 2 upper 1st round picks.

fingfootball Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Crap! King Carl sucks. And you can't blame Allen, Peterson has treated him very poorly. Edited April 17, 2008 by fingfootball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outshined Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 That's a credible rumor.

Outshined Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3351406 Smith reported that according to sources, the Vikings appear to be a front-runner because they have, and are willing to deal, Kansas City what it wants most -- draft choices. Tampa Bay only has five picks in this year's draft and, according to sources, the Bucs are reluctant to include more than a first-round pick for Allen. The Bucs have offered their first-round pick and a fifth-round pick next year, and their proposed deal could also include defensive lineman Jovan Haye, Smith reported. Meanwhile Minnesota is considering offering its first-round pick and a second-round pick in 2009, while the Chiefs would prefer to deal for picks in this year's draft, sources told Smith. John Clayton is a senior NFL writer for ESPN.com. ESPN reporter Michael Smith contributed to this report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Back on subject...This leaves a big question mark opposite Hali in KC & I think it would really damage Hali's value. On the other side, Allen would likely take over for Udeze who has been diagnosed with Leukemia with a rotation on the other side of Erasmus James, Ray Edwards & Brian Robison. Whichever is not injured and/or sucking it up at the time. I can't really see him going to Tampa. He'd be great for Gaines Adams, but Marques Douglas has played well enough not to warrant giving up a high pick for. IMO the Vikings are in more dire need & would be more likely to give up a pick for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingfootball Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I have an idea, how about we keep Allen and give Peterson to Minnesota for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Yeah, cause being a Brewerrs fan is so much better! I didn't say that as an insult. I think they're about the same. Add the Pirates and Twins most years too. Without revenue sharing when you get good players you know they can't afford to keep them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 My take on trading Allen......my current 2nd favorite player (slightly behind Gonzo) is that I'd like to keep him at any cost really. The guy dominates on the field...he's clearly THE best player on the whole roster. He can change a game all by himself, he makes numerous tackles, knockdowns, sacks, QB pressures and we even saw him installed on offense last year and score a TD. The guy has a motor that won't quit. I think with him along with the draft picks this team is going to be loaded with this year and next year we're sure to rebound rather quickly. Jarred is one of the top 5 def players in the league IMO and isn't a guy you want to ever sell. BB mentions the alcohol suspensions that could come down....I beg to differ...I believe him when he says it wont happen again, the guy has been a saint since his last occurance. He's dynomite on the field and I'll be upset if we trade him, especially seeing the drafting woes this organization has had, we're going to trade him for what 2 picks? So whoppdefindo,wait till they draft two flops with those picks for him and see the pitchforks come out at Arrowhead. This is a BAD idea IMO!!!!!!!!!!!!
