With the QB situation surely any opponent is going to stack the box to stop ‘purple jesus’(where did that phrase come from ?)

I like the trade and the possibility of getting more draft picks. This lays out to be a good draft for us because of value at picks. What scares me more than anything can CP get them signed and in training camp on time!!! I feel if the trade takes place our pick will be Chris Long.

Jarred Allen is good for 1 or 2 sacks a game and atleast 1 25yrd run to his side

As long as they have Purple Jesus on that offense it can really go anywhere it wants. Plus they still have Chester Taylor and they signed Bernard Berrian. QB is still an issue but with those RBs all he has to do is not turnover the ball.

You make a good point , the Vikes will have a pretty solid D Line.Still don’t think they have the O to make it to the superbowl but there’s still time and the draft to go I guess.
Just read Adams blueprint 4 and some of the stuff about JA does make some sense even though I’m such a huge fan
Hmmm ,use extra pick to draft a star DE and get a CB in the deal…
does sound tempting.

only kidding about the chargers jersey
I’ll wear no 27 again , like i did last year to the Dolphins vs Giants game.

No…………… Not the SPARKLERS!

I actually think if the Vikes can pull this trade off they could be contenders. They probably would have the best DL in the League. Also the Bucs have made the playoffs last season so they at least have a shot.

Ok ,as a British fan I’ll admit I don’t understand all the subtelties of the draft and trades but…
If Jared Allen wants to go to a championship winning team why does he want to go to the Vikes or Bucs!?
It’s got to be about either money or personality clashes surely?
He’s young , he’s proven , he’s got to be worth a good contract.In 5 years he’ll still be young enough to move on so I can’t see him acting like a bum for 5 years that’ll just depress his value.Plus , he said at the start of last season he wanted to move on but still played his arse off.If the Chiefs give him the deal he wants he’ll play for real.Give him the money , what’s the point of getting even 2 unproven players for one proven one?
I’m confused.
If this trade happens I’m going to get myself a Chargers jersey for the Wembley game this year

Dont sweat that I fumble my words all the time. We can get at it again! Would love to have you back and I think you did a great job, especially with just jumping right in with no pre-questions.

In a way I agree with Zach and AC

The whole LJ thing some of you guys are talking about is completely different that Jared Allen’s. The issue with LJ was we knew he was as good as he is, and he was in the position of power to demand the contract he got and Jared slowly snuck up on us.
We knew Allen was good a few years ago, but he exploded over the last two…and we had no choice but to stick him with the tag, because he was too risky to give a long term deal to. Not to mention the DUI’s; we almost had a white Pac Man Jones until he cleaned his act up.
I wonder if a deal might be in the works with Miami in a sign and trade for Jake Long?

Also anyone else see that McNair retired today? That just makes a trade with Baltimore more possible.
