After the dust settles ... Jared Allen
As I see it, the Chiefs have two options: (1) Suck it up and give Allen the $85 million-plus deal that the market has set for him, or (2) trade him and get whatever they can BEFORE May, which should be something decent.
A third and final potential option would be to go into the season with Allen under contract for just one year. However, I can't possibly fathom how an organization, no matter how stupid (even Carl Peterson stupid), could do this, given that we know -- and I, for one, believe him -- Allen will never sign a long-term deal with KC if this happens and then he'd walk away for nothing. The question is two-fold: (1) Balls on the table - what do you think WILL happen, and (2) all things considered, what do you HOPE happens? |

Think: We trade him for a 1st and 3rd this year, and 2nd next year.. Because Carl is too incompetent to get 2 1sts out of someone.. OR more to Carl's Style.. We get a 1st and 4th this year and switch some lower positions around in this draft and call it good(basically we get ****ed).. Anything less then 2 1sts for Allen is screwing the Chiefs over..
I would hope that JA signs a long-term contract that has a stipulation in it that if he gets suspended again that he has to pay back some money.. But it will never happen, I dont mind making him the richest DE if he did this.. |

Couldn't we franchise him again next offseason and trade him then?

We'd lose a lot of leverage, considering he's made it public knowledge that he won't sign a long term deal if he plays under the tag.
That's not a game of chicken I'd like to play. If you wanna trade him, trade him NOW. |

"I am now prepared to sit out the year if the Bears don't trade me or release me," Briggs told FoxSports.com on Monday night. "I've played my last snap for them. I'll never play another down for Chicago again."

I hope I never have to read another thread saying the same two or three things that the CHIEFS have to do with him, seriously

His value won't get much higher. "Weak" draft, career year, younger, etc.

Guys...why would we sign him in a year where we have a top 5 draft pick?
We tag him pay him shit money. If he has a great year we reward him with a large contract next year when we have more cap room from all of our cuts this year. It just makes sense to not award him a big contract if we can still keep him around this year.

He rapes Carl. Then he rapes QBs for the next 6-7 years.

I would much rather sign JA to a long term deal and make him a Chief for life.
