    Jared Allen for a 3rd rounder?

    Vikings are asking for a 3rd rounder or a possible conditional second rounder. I'm not saying we need Jared Allen, but my god, can you imagine that!?

    Vikes are talking to the Seahawks and one other team.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      Pretty sure he's a free agent at the end of the year. So doesn't make sense for the Bills.

        Then we could trade him for 2 number ones. And then package Thad Lewis, Jeff Tuel, and the first round picks to Indy for Luck.

            Question: Why his he on the market?

              I believe Minnesota doesn't have the cap space to re-sign him? I'm not sure though.

                Vikings season is over
                Allen has huge contract
                Allen is FA after the season
                Vikings will not re-sign Allen
                Allen has trade value as a dominant pass-rusher

                    BUF's season is over, too. Why buy some other team's liability? He won't sign for a bag of peanuts. And go and fork over a 3rd to boot?

                      Bills are one of only 5 teams who have room for him.
                      I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

                        If this is Allen's final year on his contract wouldn't he have right to first refusal?

                          He's on the decline and we are looking for talent to rebuild with. We also have Carrington available for the future. It's too bad, too because with the season Mario is having, there would be plenty of scraps for Carrington to pick up, especially as the season went on.

                            There's a lot of speculation here in Denver that the Broncos might make a move for him.

                              You asked why he was on the market not why the Bills would trade for him. Bills will not get Allen because he would be a rental for a playoff team.
