Report: J. Allen traded to Vikings (edit)

Why is KC putting him on the market? That doesn't make sense to get rid of a guy who is a young premier pass rusher.

I believe that it's because they have many needs and they are trying to stockpile picks. By trading JA for a couple of quality picks, it helps them out with numbers both in personnel and money.

KC is a team that's definitely in serious rebuilding mode. I guess they figure they'd be better off with picks and I'm sure they are probably hesitant about locking up Allen considering his past legal issues.

you want the vikes to get him. if they do, there's a much better chance of derrick harvey falling to us. not great, but they're the last team he could possibly get to unless they pickup a serious DE before the draft.

Unless the Chiefs use that pick now on Harvey (or Merling)

Just reported on profootballtalk.com that the trade to the Vikings is almost done, just working out salary...

First and a 2nd right?

So now the Vikings are reportedly offering a 1st in 2008, a 3rd in 2008, and a 2nd in 2009. Chiefs should take that.

wow, thats a good deal for the chiefs. at 17 overall they can replace him, then use the 2nd and 3rd to improve their team. 1-2 year drop off at that spot, but they're not winning anything next year anyways.

The reason he is on the trading block is because Jared Allen was franchised and he told the Chiefs that he was not going to resign with the team. They figured trade him now why his stock is high rather then lose him next year and get nothing in return

NFL.com just reported that Jared Allen was traded to Vikings..

Will post the link up once it is up, u can go to nfl.com as u sld see it tho..
