LunaticFringe Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 John Clayton, of ESPN.com, reports the Minnesota Vikings are considering offering their first-round pick and second-round pick in next year's NFL Draft to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for DL Jared Allen, according to sources.According to Kansas City's website: ( http://www.kcchiefs.com)"We will confirm that we have been in conversation with a few teams regarding the possibility of acquiring Jared Allen s contractual rights. Any potential agreement would be contingent on the Chiefs receiving appropriate compensation and Jared s representative reaching a contract agreement.Jared is not an exclusive franchise player. Therefore, based on the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, he has the right to visit and negotiate with other teams. However, for any trade to be completed, the Chiefs would need to reach an agreement on compensation. At this point, all of these discussions are preliminary.

LunaticFringe Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 Updating this thread:According to ESPN it looks like this will actual happen. Allen will be going to the Vikings for the Vikes 17th overall pick and one of their 3rds. That looks like a really bad deal for the Chiefs considering that Allen was the leader in sacks in 2007.Those over on the Chiefs forums say that it was inevitable. Allen pulled a "Chad Johnson" on the Chiefs and they had no choice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossFALCON™ Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 yea me and bucman were talking about this today. the bucs are one of the teams trying to get him. that wont be good for us at all, their Dline will most likely look like this: Adams, Sims, Hovan, Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Offseason Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 from what i know he is going to the vikings for the compensation you say, and if they have agreed upon compensation as far as the trade goes the deal is done, the vikings will easily pay him what he wants. they would have done the same with justin smith.that makes the vikings defensive line very good all of a sudden, and fills an absolutely GAPING hole at LE, great trade for the vikes.

Bucman™® Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 bossFALCON (4/17/2008)yea me and bucman were talking about this today. the bucs are one of the teams trying to get him. that wont be good for us at all, their Dline will most likely look like this: Adams, Sims, Hovan, Allen Maybe not... Rumor has it The Vikes new offer is a 1st in this years draft and a 1st next year for Allen. Now as a Bucs fan I'm sayin they can have him for that... Save the 1st and draft Mike Jenkins...

Save the 1st and draft Mike Jenkins...:Wow:i wouldnt rule him going to the bucs out just yet though... most people thought moss was going to GB in a draft day trade and next thing you know NE comes up with one of the biggest trades in the history of the NFL and trades a 4th to OAK for moss. now im not saying j.allen will be traded for a 4th (because he wont) but he could come for less than you expect. keep that in mind while your watching the draft bucman.
