Jared Allen DE-KC CHIEFS He is 6'6'', he'll be only 25 in April, and he has 27.5 sacks in only 47 career games. He would help fill our DE need and we could focus on DB in the Draft or trade down to get more picks.
Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen wants out of Kansas City.
He formally requested a trade after contract negotiations broke down over the weekend in Indianapolis, Allen's agent, Ken Harris, said in a phone interview.
The Kansas City Star reported that the team rejected the request, and Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson told the newspaper that the club plans to tender Allen on March 1, the deadline for teams to submit qualifying offers to restricted free agents.
Chiefs spokesman Bob Moore could not immediately confirm the report Feb. 25.
However, Moore said, "It's my understanding that we have no intentions of trading Jared Allen."
Allen, whose contract expires this week, has 27 1/2 sacks in three years with the Chiefs. But he earned a low base salary in the final year of his contract -- well below the salaries of most other starting defensive ends.
Darrell Jackson WR-SEATTLE SEAHAWKS He's only 5' 1'1' and he's 29, but I think he'd be a good player to trade for. May be Jackson and Seattle's 3rd Round Pick for Shawn Springs(goes back to Seattle) and B. Lloyd....IDK
The Seahawks are reportedly hoping to trade Darrell Jackson.
The team hasn't commented publicly or initiated trade talks yet, but it's no surprise. Jackson has been unhappy regarding an old contract snafu and the Seahawks can't be happy with his attitude or drops. They seem willing to take a $4 million cap hit to deal him. He will have a hard time finding a better situation than Seattle to put up big numbers. Feb. 25 - 9:06 am et
The problem with J. Allen is that he has had the DUI issues. Should he sign with the skins, a personal driver better be included with the contract for any outings after 5:00pm.
For DJackson, he doesn't fit our needs at all. We are stacked at WR and the last position we need to fill is WR.
Theres already a thread about Jared, I said to no to him there too.
And why would we want to bring in another midget WR? IF we bring in a WR he needs to be big and tall.
Lastly, we don't need to trade anything to anybody. We have no chips to deal this year and all we can do is mortgage away the future. I know its boring to those who are used to winning the offseason bowl, but you'll reep the rewards once we make it to the real Super Bowl.
