Figured this could use a thread. Could you really watch him do that hogtie thing in GB?

i have no clue where we would play him, he doesn't fit our 3-4 at all

another site mentioned that the GB link might have just been made to make it look like he had more suitors to drive up his asking price

Best bet on DE Jared Allen's new home?:

I'd bet that he's going to sign with Denver.

He is big enough to play end. Problem is that with him and Clay you would do best to move them around, which creates a higher learning curve, and all we read about is how injuries is creating havoc with assignments.

I'm sure he'd be listed as an OLB and rush the edge standing up. Its a solid way to extend your career but it'd be unusual for a player to be so confident in their ability to make that switch. I guess his next contract will likely be his last so he's got nothing to fear.

No thanks though. Not because he's not good or anything just that I can't stand the douchebag.

[Tony Oday]

I want him. Sign him. He can cover as well as whoever chump we line up out there anyway

[bobblehead]

Agree 31, I don't really want him, just speculating he can play the end in a 3-4 if he has the desire. I don't want a past his prime ex viking.

Nah. He'll go to a 4-3 team, and TT doesn't bring old guys like that in anyway.

Maybe Chicago if he wants to stay in the NFCN; I think DET wouldn't have enough cap space for him but I'm sure he'd prefer a dome/warm climate. Next year the Vikes play outdoors until the new stadium's done.
Otherwise I could see someplace like TEN, PHI, or the Raiders. I think he'd fit right in with the crazies in Oakland. Maybe Dallas, ATL, or TB takes a shot?

There will be teams kicking the tires, but Gb won't be one of them. Agree he's on his last contract and it won't be close to what he was earning.

I'd bring him in on a cheap deal as a pass rush specialist but no way am I paying him to be an every down DE or OLB

[Rutnstrut]

Although not an ideal fit for the defense, he's waay better than anyone on the team now.

[Brandon494]

Sign him! We'll find some place for him on defense, I've seen enough of this guy over the years to know hes an elite pass rusher. You pair him and Clay Matthews together and we now have the bash brothers bringing the much needed pass rush.

[Tony Oday]

I can not imagine him opposite CM III OR on the same side...the offenses would not be happy.

well, if you line them up on the same side of the field, then the second that the ball is snapped and allen tries to beat his guy to the outside, clay's going to be taken out of the picture by the guard that allen is also suppose to be tying up.

making clay worthless

[Tony Oday]

Or CMIII goes inside and a guard cant handle his speed.

[HarveyWallbangers]

There's ZERO chance Allen signs with Green Bay. Wrong scheme. This is Allen's wishlist--not TT's wishlist.
