Source: Vikings Increase Offer for Allen
http://min.scout.com/a.z?s=63&p=2&c=...%2f748330.html
According to a source in the Vikings organization, they have increased their trade offer for Jared Allen to 1st and 3rd round picks in 2008 and a 2nd round pick in 2009. They're starting to bend..... |

Minnesota has two 3rd round draft picks this year - #73 and #82.
I'm sure the next sticking point will be which 3rd round pick they are offering. |

Its good, but JA just got to Tampa and they already threw in another pick. I'd sit tight.

Yeah - I know but I figure that the VIKES might. They'll at least be better next year than this. That 2nd rounder next year will be close to a 3rd. I just want the most I can get now - they're getting that - right?

They won't get a #1 and #2 this year. No team is going to do that on top of committing $25-$30 million to JA that they can't get back.
The Vikes 1st and their first 3rd rounder this year and 2nd in 2009 is probably the best deal they will get for JA.

Their #17 pick and their 1st 3rd round pick (#73) are combined 1175pts. Add a mid-round 2nd from next year (equivalent to a mid-round 3rd this year) and you get another 195 which gives a total of 1370.

Don't worry. Carl will see if the other teams want to offer more first.

I wouldn't mind throwing them a mid-rounder if it means one of those picks gets upgraded, though. Like... They get Jared Allen and a 5th, we get a 2008 1st and 2nd, and a 2009 2nd. I don't know the math behind it, but I'd like it. |

I would take the deal in a heartbeat if Carl and Herm weren't running this team

I'd take it.
Even though the contract in place is cheap....I don't think that Allen will sign with us. He wants to leave.....take the picks and let him go. |

Good in a Soviet Union and Germany arguing about out how to divvy Poland kind of way, perhaps.

What if the Chiefs drafted Chris Long this year, then used that extra 1st, 2nd and 3rd to draft: A franchise left tackle A complementary starting wide receiver A stud offensive guard Sure, it's optimistic...but it could happen! Jared Allen could be our Jesus Christ! His sacrifice could forgive the sins of Carl's past 19 years!
