ALLEN HEADING OUT OF KANSAS CITY?

Posted by Mike Florio on April 17, 2008, 12:52 p.m.
During the offseason, Jay Glazer of FOXSports has roughly the same profile as Punxsutawney Phil.
But when Glazer emerges from hibernation, he comes with something more than a hairy *** and tail.
Glazer reports that the Kansas City Chiefs are expected to trade defensive end Jared Allen before the draft. The two suitors are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Minnesota Vikings.
Allen, who bears the franchise tag, tells Glazer that he’ll visit with the Vikings this weekend in Minnesota, and that he plans to meet with the Bucs next week.
“It’s a situation that works out best for both sides,†Allen told Glazer. “I can go to a team that is competing for a championship right now. The Chiefs can get valuable draft picks to rebuild with.â€
The deal will be driven by two things — compensation to the Chiefs, and a new deal for Allen. As to the former, the Chiefs surely will want at least a first-round pick. They probably will want even more, such as a third-rounder. Minnesota holds the No. 17 overall pick in round one, and Tampa has the No. 20 selection.
As to the latter, Allen might want the same six-year, $72 million package paid last year to Dwight Freeney by the Colts. The deal included $30 million in guaranteed money.
The Vikings know what Allen can do. He returned from a two-game suspension to face Minnesota in Week Three of the 2007 season, and Allen arguably was the reason the Chiefs won the game.
Speaking of suspensions, that’s the one issue that could hold down the trade package and/or the contract. Allen has had two DUI arrests in less than a year, and even though he has been clean the risk of a relapse will always be present.
The only potential glitch here is that G.M. Carl Peterson is known to drive a hard bargain. But the ceiling on the demands is two first-round draft picks, since any team could snag Allen, if they’re willing to ship two first-rounders to K.C.
 
Not really!!! Allen is a young man who wants a long term deal. JT has maybe 2-3 years left in the tank....it makes him a more valuable/cheaper option, but I think JT stays with the Phins until he retires.

It does as Jax and Minny may have paid more in order to land him because he was the only option.

Now there is a younger option on the table it would bring an inflated Taylor value back to where it belongs

I thought the exact same thing once i read the story too.
 
interesting stuff. I thought Peterson had said earlier in the offseason allen wasnt going anywhere. Ill wait to see if he does end up leaving though. As for JT's trade value, I dont think it took a big hit if it took a hit at all. BP and JI are only asking for a 2nd rounder. Knowing Peterson he is probably going to demand a first and other picks and/or players. Jacksonville is still interested and Green Bay I believe was interested. I still think JT is gone come draft weekend.

Well perhaps to one team...but the other doesn't get any relief...in fact they could get a far better player for less.
 
If Minnesota overpays then it might set the bar higher for us than we expected. It could be a good thing. Jared Allen moving to one team is not enough to offset the league-wide demand for good edge rushers. The NY Giants have already increased JT's trade value.
 
Well I am a Phin's fan first...I hated to see Zach go, and I would hate to see JT go, but if we got a nice draft pick and JT had a shot at a ring elsewhere, it's a win win situation.

Dont see it that way. JT is worth at Best a 2nd rounder.

I am still putting his value as a Conditional 4th. If I was a GM that is all I am willing to give to a team for a player that already has one foot out the football door.
 
I don't think this affects JT all that much. We were't asking for a first round pick and the chiefs are asking for that plus more. If anything these teams will see other players in the market who have a higher asking price and jump at the opportunity to get JT for a 2nd and a 2nd day pick.

Well we'll see. Really, I'd like to find a way to keep Taylor, but he just doesn't seem to fit Parcells scheme. Especially if we're looking at drafting a guy like Gholston.

Well Honestly you have to look at it this way.

Detach yourself from being a Fan (if you can do that I know it is hard sometimes)

And look at it from this.

What would you offer to the Fins if you where a GM looking for Taylor who has maybe 2 years left. Not to mention one foot out the door and in Hollywood already.

A conditional 4th that can go up to a 2nd and a 4th or 5th In 09.

That is very good value is it not?
 
No way we are letting him go for a conditional 4th...not when he was the Defensive Player of the Year, the year before last. JT keeps in great shape and he is worth at least a 2nd.
