Patriots Trade For Indy TE Dwayne Allen

[AtomicDawg]

Pretty shocking to see these two make a trade.

In todays NFL that is not a lot of money.

He also blocks well.

I wanted another TE from Clemson in the Draft named Leggett.

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

 

[luuked]

He's not solid. He's mediocre which is why Indy is getting rid of him.

No offense but I trust Lombardi and BB more than your assessment.

 

[Marqui]

Yea looking closer at his contract, they cap hit is actually manageable over the next couple seasons and not much dead money on the last year. So if they get him for a late round pick then the trade is fine.

Field Yates says it's for a late round pick.

 

[TomPatriot]

7th Round pick and a participation trophy . . .

Dwayne Allen is 6'3 260lbs and can block and catch well. He some health issues but when healthy he blocks well for you and gets 400-500 yards. I wonder if he would get more here.

Overall I don't hate the contract or the player. If it is for a low round pick you risk nothing as he can be cut his 3rd year for pretty much free. At least I think so.

He is VERY fast for his size but his agility is just so-so. He tends not to break tackles too much unless power based. When hit he can lose his balance. Still a legit NFL TE who can start. Can't be mad.

He's not solid. He's mediocre which is why Indy is getting rid of him.

Guy has had more TD catches in a single season than Bennett ever had, he's equally good if not better as a blocker, as well as him being 3 years younger than Bennett and signed to a better contract than Bennett will be.

I don't see the issue here. Exceptional move by the GOAT GM/Coach.

A trade between these two teams would of never happened in the Polian and Grigson era's.

I need the hot takes on this move from the GDT All-Stars.

Big **** Bill strikes again

[Gronkowski123]

if allen can give us 25-40 catches for 300-400 yards ill be happy.

 

[dafoe2016]

This has been a srange offseason so far. Bill is screwing with Butler and creating ill will with by far his best CB for no apparent reason. The attempted trade for Cooks, the alleged interest in headcase Deshaun Jackson and now this.

Weird.

 

[BelichickFan]

Bottom line, average of $5.83M per year for a (just turned) 27 year old. Tough to beat that.

 

[scott99]

Was never impressed by Allen. He was a pretty dominant college TE, but that never translated to the pros. In BB we trust.

 

[Froob]

Still Irsay though.

 

[AtomicDawg]

Yep.

The Colts are not in a position now to be a rival - they simply need to do what is best for their team - even if that means trading with NE.
