Chiefs A brand spanking new Jared Allen thread - Page 4

BigRock · 04-18-2008, 05:08 PM

According to a Vikes' board (this is probably from their Scout.com site like the similiarly unlinked report from yesterday):

Quote:

- The Chiefs want more than the 1st and 3rd the Vikings are alleged to have offered. It is said that it will take a "wow offer" to get them to agree to the trade.

- Time is an important factor. If Allen was signed to an offer sheet then the Chiefs would be guaranteed seven days to match it. An offer sheet would have to be signed and approved by the league by tomorrow (Saturday) to give KC seven days before the draft.

Without the offer sheet option to fall back on, the entire deal hinges on the Vikings being able to offer the Chiefs enough in return to make the trade. If they don't offer a deal to the Chiefs liking, Allen isn't coming.

- The Vikings believe more teams, at least 3, have contacted KC about Allen in the last 24 hours once all this news got out. But in terms of having the picks to satisfy the Chiefs and the cap room to get a deal done, the Vikings believe they're in the lead.

- One of the 3 teams, though, is rumored to be New England, and the chance of getting their high first rounder is going to entice the Chiefs a lot more than getting Minnesota's. The Patriots also have a high third round pick (4 spots higher than the Vikings' first pick in that round).

Still, it's not known what, if anything, the Patriots have offered. And it's unlikely the Chiefs would want to trade Allen to an AFC team.

This is kind of like buying a lottery ticket when the jackpot is $300 million dollars. You spend all week thinking about how you're going to spend it...only to find out that you lost and some toothless redneck won the whole thing.

Actually here's a more evil scenario. What if the trade were to happen(not likely but what if). We get Pats 1st + 3rd....draft day comes around and McFadden is sitting there when we would pick. Trade 5th for both cowboys 1sts(yes yes maybe less likely to happen)....but 3 first rounders? COuld we manage to draft 3 trazelle jenkin's in the first round or do the law of averages say we should get one role player?

I'm pretty sure I've lived that nightmare.

From the website that brought you such classics as:

Larry Johnson is going to be a Packer!

And:

Trent Green will be traded for multiple picks!

Anything can happen, but I think Larry Johnson, Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali and Dwayne Bowe are all good players, so there's at least that much to give us hope.

If NE get JA-might has well count them as SB champs the next 5 years.

JA on 38 the spot at 7:00 pm. Looks juicy.

So how soon until either of those 4 demand a trade?

**bogey** · 04-18-2008, 05:45 PM

I don't get this. Yea Carl? Or boo Carl? Are you happy JA will be traded if it's a good trade, or are you mad JA is being traded no matter what the trade. I'm thinking why are we getting rid of one of our best players. What am I missing.

He's going to come on and say "I just signed a new deal with the Chiefs" and all this "holy shit we might have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds" talk will poot off like a burst balloon.

I appreciate evil scenarios but there in no way on God's Green Earth the Cowboys give up two 1sts for McFadden when this is the deepest RB year maybe ever.

It really would be an uncharacteristically genius of Herm and Carl to pull this off.

2 1sts, 2 2nds, 2 3rds, a 4th, 2 5ths, 2 6ths, 2 7ths... Wow.

with that many picks-we might find another JA-but I doubt it.
