This thread is for people that have already resigned themselves to the fact that Allen is more than likely gone. The line has already been crossed. We're just now hashing out what the Chiefs get out of the deal.

They can sit right where they are and get Felix Jones, who is arguably going to be a better NFL back than McFadden.

ROFL

Then you'll see tons of threads pop up about how we should have traded him for picks. I love the Planet.

CLASSIC. ROFL

It's kind of trying to make the best out of a bad situation. It seems very, very unlikely that Allen's going to re-sign here, and I think it's a combination of factors, not just "getting rid of him". There's bad blood because of what happened last offseason apparently, and it doesn't look like there's been any positive progress this year. So, I guess on one hand, you can rail at Carl for all this happening, or, on the other, you can resign your self to the fact that it is happening, that you can't go back and get a do-over on last year or last month, and so you try to figure out what the best outcome can be.

So it's boo carl because the relationship between the two is precluding a new contract, but yay carl in the hopes that he can recover by making a good trade.

That's my view, at least.

Have you seen how much money we are sitting on??? This is not your same old Chiefs who need to get close to cap, we have an over-abundance this year..

And as for the Pats.. Nothing less then thier 7th overall this year and another 1st next year.. Which would mean 32nd pick in the draft..

Fail.

If Allen was worth that much, we wouldn't be trading him.

Because a DE/OLB in their scheme is worth a tons more.. Hell in the NFL period now elite CB's are not worth the money with the way the rules are set up..

You can get an elite DL and make average to good CB's allstar, compared to a average DL letting WR run all day on elite CB's..

I swear to God, though, if Carl pulls this off where we end up with six picks in the first three rounds by the time the Draft arrives, it will have been the most ingenius manuvers he's made in his time as GM. Taking a bad situation and turning it into exactly what the Chiefs want, with the best drafting HC we've had in ages.

That's why I think everything might fall through. It would require a hell of a lot of skill to manufacture, and I don't know if there's any GM, maybe one or two of the elite ones, that could pull off that kind of trick.

Nonetheless, aim high Carl.

If he pulls this off.....then he'll demand a new contract. :cuss:

Yes, this would be like Athan winning a pulitzer.

I understand that logic, and it frightens me, too.

But I can't root for my team to fail ever. If this pair of deals is possible, you pull the trigger.

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm hoping that some how we pull through this with the Pats 1st and 3rd.

If we do, I still think it'd be really hard for us to get a 1st and a 2nd for the #7 overall. Maybe if we give up a mid rounder in exchange with the #7, I can see a 1st and a 2nd coming our way.

Geez... this is too exciting to be real.
