Jared Allen trade rumors are burning up ESPN
ESPN just finished a live hour of NFL programming, with a draft special called "On the Clock" and the regular 3:00pm episode of NFL Live. How many times did they mention Jared Allen during that span?
Once. In the final 10 seconds. After they spent the hour talking about several draft-related trade stories like Shockey trying to get out of NY and Chad Johnson trying to get out of Cinci. I kinda get the impression that they don't think there's a lot to this story. |

They don't think there is a lot of interest in KC Chiefs football right now... and they are right.

"And there is talks of a trade out in the flyover states, we'll let you..."

They covered it all day yesterday, and there's really no new information today.

Goatse your relentless pimping of WPI never ceases to dissapoint
he wont be traded... this is just Carls way of leveraging the contract neg's. he'll say look no one wanted to offer 2 first rounders and they will come to an agreement. OR.... we'll get two first rounders and the sun will rise tomorrow regardless.

Nobody gives a damn what brand of lube you and Nick switched to.

I noticed this as well. A bunch of whiners who won't get traded and just want a new contract get all the talk, while the guy who is actually going to be traded gets 10 seconds the entire day.

I don't think ESPN thinks he's going to be traded. They completely downplayed the story on their web site, saying "Allen is visting other teams even though he has no assurances that the Chiefs would even consider trading him". That story has now fallen off their NFL headlines list and hasn't been replaced with anything new. And aside from the brief segment they had with Michael Smith talking about it last night, they haven't covered the story on TV at all. They're acting like the whole thing is a non-starter. |

There is news. Allen is visting the Vikings. Carl commented that the Chiefs have talked to some teams. There's speculation about the draft compensation. These are all things that can be gone over ad nausium. Especially for people that have no trouble spending 10 minutes talking about nothing, like a trade to get Chad Johnson out of Cinci that's never going to happen.

I may be wrong in the end, but I think there might be a lot of wishful thinking going on in this thread.

Getting two unknown, huge-salary-demanding future first rounders in exchange for Allen won't bode well for the Chiefs' bank account. This talk is just that. Allen will be a Chief for life. Besides, doesn't he have a bar to run?
