Patriots Trading For Dwayne Allen?

 

[Love The Drake]

Wow

 

[luuked]

I'd say 3rd round pick (maybe CLE comp) ?

 

[Edelmania]

Wow, Martellus replacement

 

[Big-T]

Woah!

Now that's a pretty nice trade, he's a good #2 TE to have.

 

[TBR]

Hmmmmm.

 

[BelichickFan]

We're just responsible for the reasonable salaries :

3/7/2016: Signed a four-year, $29.4 million contract.

The deal contains $16 million guaranteed, including a $4 million signing bonus. 2017: $2.5 million, 2018: $4.5 million, 2019: $6.9 million, 2020: Free Agent

Edit, a little more than that as there's roster bonuses but it's still very reasonable :

2017 : $4,937,500
2018 : $5,000,000
2019 : $7,400,000

So long Marty B. At least you got your ring.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Holy moly.

Well, bye Marty B. Thanks for the fun year and especially those big plays in the Super Bowl.

I'm surprised the Colts even made a trade with us, let alone give us their top Tight End.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Holy hell.

 

[Marqui]

Awful trade. Allen makes a bunch of money and be borderline sucks.

 

[farn]

Hmmm. BB loving him some two TEs.

What are they sending ?

 

[Love The Drake]

Very reasonable contract

 

[long distance]

I thought it would be a trade. Such important position and crazy FA.


Now LB position and we're rolling..

 

[jboston19]

Well, farewell Marty. I wonder what we gave up....

 

[resdubwhite]

Cheaper than Marty. wonder what compensation is.

 

[Love The Drake]

now lets get Cooks and AP lol

 

[luuked]

Holy hell.

That's pretty much the range they offered Bennett last year after the trade. If whatever TE we draft on day 2/3 works out well Allen could be even cut to avoid the bigger hits.

Depending on the pick we gave up I like the move..

Who the **** is Allen

marty to the Raiders makes sense
