The guy hasn't grown up since. If the Chiefs can get adequate compensation (2nd rounder +), move him.

An often overlooked point.

Exactly. He hasn't shown the ability to learn from his mistakes. I'm not sure this time will be any different and honestly it is not worth the gamble to find out.

What gamble?

Passing on much needed picks in hope that Allen stays clean is a gamble.

This is all posturing. And the trading, if it does take place, will be during the draft days. He is strong bait if KC wants to move up somewhere. And he can't afford to slack off this year when he does play after 4 games because he wants that good contract as a totally free agent if it came to that. No sweat yet.

**Fire Me Boy!** · 03-28-2007, 11:01 AM

He can't be traded unless he has a contract. The most that can happen at this point is if ATL makes an offer and we don't match it.

True, it's not technically a trade but the Chiefs and alternate team can work out reduced compensation which is a trade-like transaction.

Trade him for a second-rounder and something else (maybe a high day two or player), package that with out first to move up and grab Levi Brown, and then take LaMarr Woodley with our second pick (who is going to be one of the best DEs out of this class; a Mark Anderson-type - football player, not athlete).

Hopefully not Hadley Engledork part II

booger · 03-28-2007, 12:23 PM

I'm suprised his Agent hasn't got him a visit or visits like Franchise FA Charles Grant from NO visited the bucs. I thought this was in his original threat when it first came out in the Star he wanted traded.

I trust Allen will stay in shape while he's not here.

This is normal stuff going on; it's the business of the NFL. He'll re-sign with us. Herm had dinner with him not too long ago and I heard it went fine.

If the concert pic from last year is any indication I'm not so sure he will.
