I know we can't do anything about it now. I just think overall it was a dumb move.
I understand we are getting younger to get better, but IMO you don't trade your best young player to do that. Allen was only 26.
Him and Dorsey would bring a 4 man pass rush that very few teams in this league can do.
And Tommy Harris is a FA next season ( now I am just dreaming)
Allen, Dorsey, Harris, Hali - OMG best DLine in NFL folks. IF that didn't send us to top 3 defense in NFL the whole coaching staff should get fired.

Jared Allen franchise changer?? How so? At least he hasn't shown it so far in his career....
I think some people have become so enamored with JA's sack number last season, that they have completely forgotten that he wasn't even the sack leader on his own team the previous year. Or the fact that even when he lead the league in sacks last year, none of them came in the 4th quarter where it was likely needed most. Only 1 came in the second half...
Sorry, those are not "franchise changing" numbers.... he got after it, but I don't remember too many games he singlehandedly changed. I do remember a few last year that he completely disappeared in.
