Trade him.
And if you can get 2nd and 3rd round picks for him? Absolutely. You trade him.
I know there are a lot of Chiefs fans out there that love Allen. But, in all honesty, there are a handful of DE's that are better than him. And imo, some may praise the guy for his play, but lets be honest here, we are Chiefs fans, and I think the reason we say he is good is because he has been the best DE KC has had in years. I mean, he is a probowler compared to guys like Hicks, Holliday, and Clemons.
But if you compare him to a lot of other DE's in the league, he is probably average to above average. nothing more than a complimentary end with off field issues, and to top it off, complain about a new contract.
Get rid of him. We have no use for guys like that on this team. draft a DE with character, that has potential. I trust in Herms braintrust on defense. I think he can find a DE to replace Allen no problem.
