msp0818..... Moss was a problem child and unproductive for a couple years in Oakland. Allen is a pro-bowler and led the league in sacks last year. Slight difference.

We won't have to wait till draft day. The deal is apparenlty done. Still waiting for a report on the specifics.

The Vikes have offered their first and first third.
The Chiefs want their first and second.

Minnesota should up their offer to their first and both thirds as a compromise.

Bottom line though... I don't think this deal gets done until draft day. This keeps everyone below the Chiefs guessing and may entice another team to trade up.

kaycee,

While I agree that his current two strikes are a problem, I think the bigger issue is that he doesn't want to be in KC. Peterson does not want to invest a lot of money in Allen and thus he will be gone after next year anyway. The Chiefs are not likely going to the playoffs this season, with or without Allen. So it makes sense to go ahead and get some draft picks for him while we can.

wtnelson... I meant if they were to draft a DE, THAT DE would be an unproven commodity. Side note... I am all for crazy D-linemen trying to kill Cutler. Go Chiefs!

As a Chiefs fan, I know that Allen is gone either this year or next. We are rebuilding anyway and may as well get draft picks in exchange for Allen while we can. The Vikings would be friggin scary along that D-line with Allen. his is a good trade for both teams. The Vikes would get a pro-bowler next to the two Williams. Chiefs get the Vikes 1st and both thirds.

What I find ridiculous is the fact that IF the Vikings chose to trade up in the draft to go after Long or Ghoulston, they would have to give up (according to that wonderful little point chart) their first, second and both thirds just to trade up to the number 5 slot where the Chiefs now sit. So not only would they be giving up more picks to trade up, they would be doing so for an unproven commodity.
