So, what's the deal? Do we want him traded because he's holding out, or because he's had off the field issues? If it's because he's holding out, well, that's just stupid. Every franchise tagged player who has held out would then be target for trades. Neil Smith pulled that shit in '93, and he went on to have a pretty good year that year.
If it's because he's gotten in trouble, I think HemiEd hit it - what if we trade him and he ends up a pro bowler while we draft the next Junior Siavii and Snoop Minnis? Yeah, Herm did good with the '06 draft - much better than Vermeil ever did - but I will wait a year or two more before I annoint him a draft day genius.
Allen is a solid, ascending player. Worthy of having a defense built around him along with Hali and DJ. I don't want to see him get traded.
All that being said, I personally believe that nearly any player on a football team is not safe from trade, if the price is right.
