Bruce Allen was the WORST GM in the NFL. If Allen had a freakin’ single brain cell last season he could have EASILY traded Williams to HOUSTON for a MINIMUM of a 1st rounder for this draft. He could have bargained a first for this season and a first or second in 2021. The Texans were that desperate for an OT. Unfortunately, Bruce not only didn’t know squat about the NFL, but he decided to “punish” Trent for daring to ask for a trade. We got no trade for Trent, Trent refused to play for Bruce and we ended up getting a paltry trade this season as Rivera was forced to take Reid’s deal. Otherwise, the team might have had Trent sitting out another season - providing another “cancerous” (pun intended) distraction to the team, the fans and the media. Rivera was forced to cut bait with Trent because of Bruce Allen’s terrible decision-making last season. However, eVen if Bruce had tried to trade to Houston , we probably wouldn’t have done well - he couldn’t negotiate to save his life.
I mean look at the Alex Smith “trade”. KC was going to RELEASE Alex ANYWAY, but Bruce gave up Kendall Fuller AND A THIRD ROUND PICK for a QB he might have got to nothing. I mean “Kurt” Cousins was on a franchise tag for TWO YEARS and then Bruce suddenly woke up and realized he needed a QB to replace him!! I mean Andy Reid must have SMELLED Bruce’s utter panic and desperation and he just then took Bruce to the cleaners.
Of course Andy Reid has done this to Allen BEFORE... in 2010, Allen traded a second round pick AND a conditional 3rd or 4th round pick the following year for Donovan McNabb - a washed up QB that Reid was going to dump off the Eagles roster that season anyway. Instead he FLEECED Allen for TWO high draft picks and dumped a fading McNabb on our team!! McNabbster led the team to a blistering 6-10 season.
Bruce was a terrible General Manager who couldn’t judge NFL or college talent, who was universally disliked by the players, their agents and the fans. Finally, he was abused by other GM’s or HC’s, like Reid, who got him to make ridiculous trades throughout his ten years of mediocrity.
Of course, Bruce was really GOOD at one thing - licking Dan Snyder’s boots. He was an amazing example to the world of how to be a world-class toady! Good riddance. I feel better to periodically launch into a Bruce Allen rant. Lol.
