Patriots Trade For Indy TE Dwayne Allen

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..

They also signed Rob Housler
 
I hope we still draft a TE. Not crazy about the deal so I'll just have to wait and see how it plays out. I did like him coming out of college.
 
Reminds me so much of David Graham. Graham was a dominant college TE, and like Allen, won the Mackey Award. But Graham was NEVER a GREAT NFL tight end. But he was productive as a receiver, but GREAT as a blocker. Hopefully Allen follows Graham's path.
 
And you want to give Bennett $9 a season? Thank god you aren't gm
Agreed, he dosent get it.

As Howe said we just pretty much stole Allen from the Colts for the difference between a 4th round and 6 round pick. An excellent blocking TE who has had up to 8 TD in a season. For about half of what we would have paid Marty.

Anyone who dosent like this great depth signing (if not a solid #2 TE) for value is a complete idiot.

Granted we have a lot of idiots here.

Lengel and Williams are glorified OTA/camp bodies. If you seriously believe that they will skip over one of the most athletically gifted TE classes in a long time you will be shocked in about 50 days.

I am still fully confident that they will go for a late d2/early d3 TE (Brittle ?) and then a very late project.
 
How much is this guy making? He's not even that athletic as a tight end. Don't like it but we will see.

That is fine. You could be right. I think it is all about health for him. If he stays on the field the next 3 years it is a win.
 
Not according to Colts fans.

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

hope they're wrong

Of course they will say that..he just came to the Pats
 
Basically the same trade as the Bennett one. 6th and tight end for a Patriots' 4th.

The thing that also needs to be emphasized is how cap friendly the contract is. That is the true value of avoiding FA.
 
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

They will still probably draft a TE given Gronk. I more year he misses big time..he's gone IMO

Guessing you meant Daniel Graham who was never the receiver that Allen is.

Well Jack Doyle has a long of 24 yards. Gronk averaged 21.6 YPC last year. Even in injury. So.......hope they enjoy!
 
Well all I know is we better restructure this guys contract, because I made fun of them for it last year.
 
New England is a much better place for a TE than most teams. Can't say whether he pans out or not but he'll have a much geater opportunity to be a factor here than he had with gunslinger Andrew Luck and that WR happy offense.

They can still draft a guy in the 3rd or later. This probably just takes a TE in the 1st or 2nd off their board.
 
How long before someone speculates Gronk is out and they still re-sign Bennett?
