Time to trade Jared Allen... - Page 16

With the latest news from his agent, it's time to shop the guy hard to Atlanta to see if we can get the Schaub picks.

Anybody agree?

The only others on the roster who would have their stature are untouchable or it would make no sense to trade them because of their youth.

LJ and Allen are the exceptions because of their unique situations.

Possibly Gonzalez once he realizes Croyle is the QB and it looks like they are prepared to go through some struggles. I just don't see that Tony would resign if he didn't have some insight at who would be throwing him the ball.

I could see him asking for a trade next year if this year is rough enough and he wants a shot at a ring. But not this offseason.

Makes no sense to trade Waters. Dj and Hali are untouchable IMO.

Maybe we could sweeten the pot on the Green deal by including Dante Hall. Especially to Miami who lost Wes Welker. I think they have signed a couple more OLinemen and Az Hakim, which seems a prelude to a trade for Green IMO.

With depth at WR, C,G,and CB, along with potential at DT, and a DE in this draft, I would love to accumilate as many picks, preferable 1st day as possible.

As long as I can remember we haven't been this busy with potential trades and that is exciting.

Well all I can tell you is how he was when he was here, off air and on air...On air--he was PC and wants to be a Chief. Off air he seemed resigned to the nature of the biz and negotiations, and wants to be a Chief. It seemed to me that he is trying to trust his agent. He also is very much NOT drinking. He was even a little weirded out becasue I wanted him to sign my bottle of tequila...he didnt sign it...I could tell he was uncomfortable with it, so I dropped it. He was incredibly humble, and very much realized his mistakes. But I could tell he would be alot of fun to hang out with--which I may do soon.

I would think that a Pro-Bowl TE would be the best friend and favorite target of a young QB. I expect to see TG much more involved in the offense and big numbers next year.

To me that's why this would be such a gut wrenching descision on whether or not to trade him. I've had plenty of friends who loved to drink and do stupid things and get in fights but that's what made them themselves. Jared seems to just want to have fun and hopefully has realized like many (myself included) that drinking and all that can get you into trouble that is not worth it.

By chance do you have the interview you did on your site somewhere to listen to know for myself and others who also may have missed it?

Oh I would hope so too.

Just going by his interview on NFLN recently which he thought Damon would be the guy.

Which is to be expected in this situation. Not many vets or no players will come out and publically support Croyle until he has his chance to earn it and prove it.

I just think too damned much.
