Brett and others, i know what you are saying with trade value but i think the biggest issue is that Allen doesn’t seem to want to stay here. If its pointing towards him leaving after this season thats why the trade makes sense. It’s not worth it to keep an A+ talent around if its only one year, and a rebuilding year at that

and for those of you who say this is a great trade… we would be trading allen an A+ talent for….. Sheppard – Proven to be an A when healthy but since not usually healthy = B and then two draft picks who have a 50 50 chance of being any good in the NFL… It is too risky for me

ROC…. cornerbacks can only do so much now in the NFL, and it is the other way around… its a hell of a lot easier to cover a reciever when the QB is running for his life.

I am torn with this news. One one hand I am thrilled to think of what the Eagles secondary could look like with Asante Samuel, Lito Sheppard, Sheldon Brown, and Brian Dawkins. Then I remember how often Lito is hurt, and think if the team could get a great player like Jared Allen, then they should just go for it.

Calm down you silly "dotte/gladstone" bitches! Allen will get his cash, and Herm will get DB talent in the middle rounds. At least that will be the plan. Forget Lito and picks for Allen. Even if you like the trade, nothing that interesting will happen under Carl’s watch. However, I was extra pissed at the less than stellar effort to visit with Faine!!

Now, Im in the same boat as everyone else. I Love Jared Allen, But Jared Allen is NOT The Chiefs… Im a Chiefs Fan. . If the trade doesnt happen, awesome. We still have Allen… If it DOES though. . . AWESOME! We got a great CB, possibly a great DE with the 5th pick ( Gholston Or Long) and possibly a great OT with the 14th pick (Otah or Williams ). Its Killing THREE birds with 1 stone.

So, in effect with a CB that doesnt get his ankles broken every down (Ty Law), And can cover good, keeps the QB in the pocket longer or scrambling longer which makes him more seceptable to getting sacked. We need those kinda CBs
