Patriots Trade For Indy TE Dwayne Allen

[TeamFirst]

Loved the trade But the compensation. I trust BB completely but a fourth and six seems like a lot

We only gave up a 4th the 6th comes to us with Allen.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Well he's younger, cheaper and a better blocker while still being a decent receiving TE.

He's also being coached now by Bill Belichick and not anymore by Chuck Pagano.

That's like eating cat **** next to a hobo then moments later getting a filet at Del Frisco's with a model.

 

[Jangles]

Not according to Colts fans.

The sentiment on their board is he cant block or catch for ****

hope they're wrong

 

[JMC00]

Him being injured is bit overrated. He missed a season after he injured his hip in the first game in '13. But other than that he has played in at least 13 games every season.

I don't have an opinion whether this is a good dealor not because i thought dwayne allen was a corner back.

It's only 4th if my understanding is correct. We get Allen and Indy's 6th instead.

 

[Wheelman]

BB has praised his blocking in the past before we played them!

 

[DaBruinz]

We will definitely still draft 1-2 TEs in the draft.

Sorry, Luuked. They kept Lengel. They kept Mike Williams.. And they added Allen.. That's 4 TEs.. They aren't using a pick on a TE in the draft and certainly not 2..

 

[Nonentity]

Hahaaha, Jest.

I went and found his 3 touchdowns against the Jets to see what they looked like.

The first two TDs were just embarrassing. The Jets suck, that's all you need to know.

But the 3rd TD is seriously good - Allen caught the pass as he crossed the goal-line, in decent one-on-one coverage on a vertical seam route, where he had to track the ball in the air and reach out for the grab with the defender in his face.

Apparently we swapped #137 (end of 4th round) for #200 (6th round), in return for Allen. Bargain.

The 4th rounder goes to the Colts. A 6th and Allen goes to the Pats.

And they have a chance to get a forth round comp pick for Bennett. And Allen will make half as much as Bennett. And Allen is 3 years younger.

God, it's good to be a Pats fan!

[AtomicDawg]

Lol

 

[Keyser Söze]

How much is this guy making? He's not even that athletic as a tight end. Don't like it but we will see.

And you want to give Bennett $9 a season? Thank god you aren't gm

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

That's awesome.

You can't make this stuff up!
BB would make for an epic movie producer.
The hits just keep on coming for the NFL front office over a complete farce.

 

[PatriotsPimp136]

5 mill this year and next IIRC

Are you kidding me? I like it less. This tight end class's supposed to be good. I rather go that way. Now they have about 50 million dollars

 

[BobDigital]

I don't worry about 6 round picks much. A 4th isn't bad. If they have him for 3 years it is a win.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Him being injured is bit overrated. He missed a season after he injured his hip in the first game in '13. But other than that he has played in at least 13 games every season.

Played 13, 13 and 14 games each of the last 3 seasons. Played banged up sometimes. Hope the Dolts enjoy Doyle.

 

[luuked]

I am not a fan of this move. This guy ain't better than bennett.

He is younger, almost 50% cheaper and a better blocker. Great move..

 

[Nikolai]

From my observation, Allen's got an incredibly high ceiling and was somewhat ******ed by injuries and the Colts. I see him as a younger Bennett who with better coaching, could become a very good player.

Great work by BB, as per usual.

That's some strong work there with the word proximity.

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

Love the trade

No, a fourth for Allen and a sixth
