Jared Allen wants out

[Brady_to_Moss]

Jay Glazer ?@JayGlazer 3m

Any contender wanting to trade for Allen will need to give more than a 3 as that's what they could get as compensation if he leaves via FA

But more then a 3rd

 

[Harrisoned!]

Can he throw the ball or catch it? That's the problem with this team.

 

[PatsBoy12]

He's a little high on mileage now, no?

 

[Froob]

So if we were to say, give up a 3rd & a 6th, and he signs with another team in the offseason we'll get a 3rd and only out a 6th? How's he do against the run?

But more then a 3rd

Give them a 2nd and they throw in a 4th plus Allen. We BADLY need help on the DL and Jared Allen is elite.

[Brady_to_Moss]

how is he against the run? good? bad?

 

[YearbookCurfew]

Sign the beast!

 

[Sciz]

Not going to happen.

They aren't going to get more than a 3rd for a rent a player who is a free agent after this season without Allen willing to sign a long term contract. He isn't getting traded unless the Vikes give him up for less than market value.

No thanks. I'm more than happy with the guys they have in their stable. Nink, Chris Jones, and Vellano all have played good this season. Kelly should be back soon, and for my money, Chandler Jones a top 5-10 DE in the league right now and is ascending as we speak. Plus Andre Carter is back in the bullpen.

The Patriots have no use for Allen's services especially at his price tag.

Allen is a blue chip player. BB doesn't bring in blue chip players. BB likes to go dumpster diving for our roster.

I agree, especially when we have Armstead stashed. I have a good feeling about him too.

How much of his roster would we pick up?

Also as a previous poster said if we give up a 3rd and a 6th and then he leaves to a monster contract in FA do we get a Comp 3rd back?

I'd do that honestly sheerly for the fact that for this team to succeed we need a dominant defense. We just signed Andre Carter and you can't tell me he is any better than Allen?

Jones and Allen across from each other changes this D for the better. it also frees up Nink to play LB now Mayo is gone.

I don't think this is as straight forward of a No as people are saying.

 

[JMC00]

If Belichick could get him for what he thought was a fair price for a half season rental and the money worked out he would definitely do it.

 

[English Patriot]

Chandler, Allen, Ninks, Spikes, Dont'a sounds like a QB nightmare. Just think if Mayo hadn't gone down.

Just the addition of Allen alone to that impressive D would be a huge morale boost.

Jared Allen's salary is $14.28M. The Patriots would have to pay 9/17 of that, or $7.56M. The Patriots have just under $6M in cap room right now. That's a straight forward no.

we need a bigger NT in the middle then the edge rusher right now. jones/nink/carter/buchanan are servicable but we need the man in the middle.

The problem with name acquisitions like Fitzgerald and Allen is the cap. I just don't see how the Patriots can afford to add these types of players given extensions that will be needed for our own players and money already spent. In theory, they're nice to talk about but it's difficult to see the Patriots pulling any of them off.
