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.
