Jared Allen has Packers on short list?

[Smeefers]

Ehh, with the massive talent jarred allen has, I think DC would have no problem finding a place for him, bit there's no way TT offers him more than another team. Only way he comes here is if he thinks he can win a super bowl here.

this is capers we're talking about. we haven't seen him fit a squared peg in the circle hole yet, even though TT keeps throwing him all kinds of square pegs

Hardly. Players get jettisoned all of the time when they don't fit a scheme. It happens every time a team changes schemes. Aaron Kampman was 4-3 DE that didn't fit a 3-4. DeMarcus Ware is much better in a 3-4 than a 4-3.

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.

FIVE CLAP POST

Some guys are smash mouth football players

Allen would excel rushing the passer with the Claymaker

With that being said..............COME ON MAN..............this is TT we're talking about

You don't change your 3-4 scheme because a 32-year-old 4-3 DE becomes available.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Allen can't play OLB and sure as hell isn't a 3-4 DE. Stopping the run is not his strong suit and he's been known to coast a lot recently for the Vikes.

Yeah, I sure as Hell wouldn't change anything after all the success we've had on defense for the past three years! (Just kidding Harvey. I couldn't resist!)

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free agent Jared Allen is in talks with the Bears and Seahawks.
Allen apparently wanted to go to Denver, but the Broncos look to be closing in on a contract with DeMarcus Ware. Allen is not as desirable a commodity as Ware at this stage of their careers, despite the 2013 sack statistics. Seattle tried trading for Allen prior to last year's deadline and has maintained interest. Allen would book end new $35 million man Lamarr Houston in Chicago.

[Bretsky]

Allen to Seattle............yuck............heck........... I'll take Allen on the Bears since he ain't coming to Green Bay

Ware to Denver..or a team like Indy....make sense

[mraynrand]

much much rather see Pack re-sign Neal than pick up Allen

Hardly. Players get jettisoned all of the time when they don't fit a scheme. It happens every time a team changes schemes. Aaron Kampman was 4-3 DE that didn't fit a 3-4. DeMarcus Ware is much better in a 3-4 than a 4-3.

Ware got cut because his salary didn't match the production he would give in a 4-3. That doesn't mean they would of gotten rid of him if he had a reasonable price attached to him. Same thing with kampman. Different schemes emphasize different players but that doesn't mean talented players cannot fit into certain situations in any scheme. If kampman took a pay cut, we would have kept him. That's what allen would have to do.

Plus, it's been rumored that if Allen doesn't get the $ and situation he wants, he's ok with retiring. Not sure how good it is to get a player who has that mentality of being ok to quit.

sounds to be like no one is coming close to his asking price

One good thing about the Vikings is that they adequately prepare a player's mind for retirement.

Pretty sure its against forum rules for you to pimp for a 1-2 all white pass rush.
