Time to trade Jared Allen... - Page 8

htismaqe · 03-28-2007, 09:31 AM

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?

Actually that is correct, We need to trade him based on his potential and future potential...

Unlike Carl and Chiefs Fans, Most teams look at future growth and preformance, we on the other hand, cry about the "proven stats" and usually overpay for guys past their prime...

Time is now to trade Allen.

The only reasonable trade for Allen would involve a first round draft pick. The guy is too young and too good to give up for anything else. We aren't likely to get any better by giving up a guy that could be a franchise player for the next 5+ years for a couple picks that have a <50% chance of doing that. Given our drafting track record, <50% is generous.

Carl needs to convince Allen to hire a new agent, and then go hot and heavy on renegotiations with him.

That means Allen also wouldn’t participate in the only offseason event that’s mandatory for most players, the three-day minicamp in early June. It wouldn’t be mandatory for Allen, who doesn’t have a contract.

Harris indicated that Allen probably wouldn’t sign the one-year, $2.35 million contract offer he has from the Chiefs until shortly before the start of camp. Allen is unhappy with contract negotiations with the Chiefs and has said he wants a trade.

Allen's agent say "blah blah blah".

If somebody offered a 2nd+3rd, or a nice move up in the 1st and a later pick (say replacing our missing 4th), I'd do it. Done deal.

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.

Allen is past his prime?? He's coming off a second day rookie contract. This is the exact type of player that good teams keep - a player that is still young, is still improving and is proven in the system.

Yes Allen is in his prime, I think you misread it... I am for one signing him or trading him to get the most picks out of him.

Well from his mouth he said--

The contract stuff has ben going on for well over a year--it's just made the media in the last few months. He wants to be a Chief. He loves the city and his teamates. However, business is business. They're just negotiating with Carl--and you know how that is...Carl isn't easy, therefore you got to ask for the moon, the sun and the stars just so you can get a piece of the big dipper. Thats true in any negotiation.

Also, he hasn't had a drink in 6 months and is doing very well without alcohol.

He is a vey cool dude and very down to earth.

"Priest, what do you need to do physically to be ready for the season?"

Right now, the comp would be 1st and 3rd. I pretty much guarantee we could get 2 first day picks for him...

Parker you know as well as I do that the compensation value has very little to do with true trade value. I also think you overrate Carls ability to make a good deal.

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.

I'd take a second and a third for him.
