Chiefs Jared Allen <=> Brandon Albert?

It amazes me that anyone could bitch about this trade. It might be the single smartest thing Carl Peterson has done in his 19 years in KC.

At WORST, it's a dead-even swap. Filling a hole at arguably the most important offensive position, while creating a hole at DE.

At best, it's an absolute landslide in our favor, as we've filled THREE holes while only creating one.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

For what Jared Allen was asking for in terms of compensation, and accounting for what he actually provides on the field, I'll trade him for a franchise LT straight up every day of the week and not blink. Charles and Morgan are just icing on the cake.
