We gave up something that we are now going to have to address with, you guessed it TOP MONEY and an additional PICK in the draft, with only a shot that said player will live up to JAs play. I'm okay with the move, but it seems a bit short-sighted in the grand scheme of things, considering we now have to address the pass-rush, when one side was already sured up. I prefer the team keep the premium players and ADD to them and actually BUILD the team. Blowing up what already is working well, isn't a rebuild, that's a demolition.

Do we really have to go through this again?
1) Allen wanted out. Period. He said he'd never sign a long-term deal in KC.
2) Sorry, but he's not worth $70M. Not even close. He's having an average year playing next to the best DT combo in the league. There's no reason to only have 10 sacks if you're being paid as the best defensive player in the league. None.
3) You can get a DE in just about any round of the draft. People that say we HAVE to replace Allen with a #1 pick are being ridiculous - apparently, they have forgotten that Allen himslef was a FOURTH round pick.
4) We filled a hole at the most important position on the offense for the next decade, and potentially have filled holes at 2 other positions as well, all while saving over $50M in the process.
5) We won 4 games last year while the guy had a CAREER year. He's not exactly the mising link you guys think he is. Would we have more sacks with Allen in the lineup? Sure. Would we be giving up MORE sacks without Albert in the lineup. Absolutely. Would we have more wins as a TEAM with Allen, but without Albert, Morgan and Charles? No ****ing way, IMO.
