I don't get why people feel the need to start new threads when there's already a thread at the top of the Lounge with 300 posts in it.

Chiefs send Allen to Vikings for three draft picks
NFL.com Wire Reports The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to trade Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen to the Minnseota Vikings, reports NFL Network's Adam Schefter. The Chiefs will receive Minnesota's first- (17th overall) and both of its third-round picks (73rd and 82nd) as compensation. Kansas City has been looking to acquire additional draft picks in an attempt to speed up coach Herm Edwards' rebuilding project for a team that lost its last nine games in 2007 and finished 4-12. The Vikings also agreed on a new contract with Allen, which will be finalized Wednesday. Allen flew to Minnesota on Tuesday night in anticipation of Wednesday's events. The Vikings fill one of their biggest needs by adding Allen to their front four. The Pro Bowl starter had a league-leading 15.5 sacks in 2007 along with 67 tackles, three forced fumbles and 18 pressures in only 14 games. Jared Allen, DE Kansas City Chiefs 2007 Stats: Games: 14 Tackles: 64 Sacks: 15.5 » Stats: 2007 statistical leaders » Free agency: Franchise amounts The Chiefs need offensive linemen and defensive backs, two position groups that scouts believe to be in abundance. The Chiefs already owned the No. 5 overall pick in the draft, and now have 13 selections with the trade, including five of the first 82 picks. Before trading the 26-year-old Allen to the Vikings, the Chiefs also talked with Tampa Bay about Allen. General manager Carl Peterson's relationship with Allen has been strained ever since Peterson, in the wake of Allen's DUI convictions, described him as "a young man at risk." Allen, who could be suspended for a season if he has another alcohol-related episode, had said he would not negotiate with Kansas City if he didn't get a contract done by next July. After reaching an impasse, the Chiefs made Allen their franchise player on Feb. 7, but did not put the exclusive tag on him, as they did on tight end Tony Gonzalez when he was franchised in 2002. That made it possible for Allen and his agent to talk with other clubs and be examined by their team doctors. Allen was suspended the first two games by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell last season for multiple DUI convictions. But Allen says he has stopped drinking entirely, a claim backed up by close friends. "I've seen Jared at a big party, out on the dance floor, where everybody is drinking except one person. It's Jared, and he's having the best time of everybody," said Chiefs fullback Boomer Grigsby. In his first game back from the suspension against the Vikings, he had nine tackles, two sacks, a pressure and a pass defended. He also forced Adrian Peterson to fumble. The 6-foot-6, 270-pound Allen was drafted with a supplemental fourth-round pick out of Idaho State in 2004. Information from the Associated Press was included in this report |

The contract he got is what makes this deal so much sweeter for me. Between the picks and the cash, Minnesota could really have all of this blow up in their face ala Herschel Walker all over again.

this move makes so much sense for a team completely rebuilding, when you really think about it...

I agree, but doesn't it also make last year's LJ deal look even crazier? How to account for the stark contrast? Does this demonstrate that Carl is in fact not calling the shots? I know, I know, DUI's, etc...but still.

After The Rush The Vikings better hope that Jared Allen doesn't suffer the same fate as every other sack champion recently. They have all posted fewer sacks the year after winning the crown.

It doesn't. And I don't care. Just had to do it once. Going forward, I'll leave it in the capable hands of the repost nazis.

Heck, Allen could put up more sacks. In MN, he's got Kevin Williams and Pat Williams next to him. That D Line is going to be scary

Good point. But then again, they might also steal some of his sacks. Who knows? But you're absolutely right about the their d-line, very SCARY. Looks like the Giants may have started a trend in the NFC: Spend your money on the DL.
