Jared Allen is a Viking
According to Adam Sheffter of NFLN.
Just saw on the ticker. Chiefs receive the Vikings 1st round pick (17) and both 3rd round picks (73,82) in the 2008 draft. http://www.nfl.com/ ----- EDIT - Jay Glazer says we will also swap picks in the 6th round. Per KFFL: Vikings | Team acquires J. Allen, agrees to terms on contract Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:14:13 -0700 Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms on a contract with Kansas City Chiefs DE Jared Allen. The Vikings will give the Chiefs their 2008 first-round draft pick, two third-round picks and the teams will swap sixth-round picks with the Vikings acquiring Allen. Allen has also agreed to terms on a six-year deal worth just under $74 million with $31,000,069 guaranteed. No. 69 is his jersey number. Last edited by DaFace; 04-22-2008 at 10:42 PM.. |

The Vikings two 3rds on the draft value chart = the 2 round pick at the #17 slot almost exactly. So the bottom line is that King Carl got a mid round 1st and a 2nd for Allen. Thats pretty good for someone that said publically would not play for you anymore.
And the Vikes supposely gave JA freeny type money. $30 million gauranteed.

He got 31 mil guaranteed (74 total), more than Freeney. He's now the "highest-paid defensive player in the NFL." Considering that price, we got excellent value for him. Great trade.

That is such B.S. What's he gonna do? Retire at 26? We could franchise him forever.

That would be a terrible decision. We'd be spending out the wazoo. That's why long term contracts are better than just franchising your best player every year.

Whoever the Chiefs pick at 5 and 17 will assuredly be busts.

The way the franchise tag works we would increase his top 5 salary by 20% every year. It's really not feasable to do it more than 2 years. If he doesn't sign, we can't keep franchising him. I really didn't want to trade him, but since it became apparent it was unavoidable, I think we got a phenominal return on it.
