Thread: The OFFICIAL "Just to Tick Vikes_King Off" Jared Allen SUPER BOWL Thread!!!

This would be fantastic!
I am not at all excited about our position in the first round this year...Seems like any DE available at our pick doesn't really fit what we need.
I would be so damn happy if this became a reality!

It would solve our problem as for the pass rushing Def. We wouldn't have to blitz our LB's which'll help our pass defense

Not exactly on topic, but Fox sports seems to always do a good job at being one of the first people to report stuff...

Yeah it would, i really hope this deal gets done

Wow.... I think I'd jump on that one.... 1st and a 3rd is a lot, but I would say it's sort of playing it safe, as you're giving up a 3rd rounder for insurance against a bust (which any DE we draft will have)... Allen led the NFL last year in sacks, right????

The drawback will be his contract, but we do have the contract God working for us.... so we can afford him.

Yeah he lead the league in sacks and he missed the first two games

Hes coming in for a visit, i could see it happening

Lets look at this from a few different perspectives......

a.
He fits the mold of what the Vikes like in a FA and are willing to over spend on to get.....
26 years old.
4 years experience.
Can play in the system for life of his contract.

e.
KC wouldn't have to worry about trading to either team as both Tampa and Vikes are NFC and not AFC teams limiting how many times Jared would play them.

f.
Both teams run the same defense.

A few things to consider about the bucs......

Sizing up the roster

The roster limit during the offseason and training camp is 80. The Bucs are at 77, meaning they will need to release players as they sign picks.

It sounds like a lot of bodies, until you consider that the Bucs train in the heat of Central Florida. At least three or four of those players could start the season on the physically unable to perform list. Another half-dozen or so will be limited to one practice per day. There also are typically three or four players out with minor injuries.

"It's going to change the way we practice," Gruden said of the limited roster.

Five QBs who have won games for Tampa Bay

Gruden tossed this fun fact out: Five of the six quarterbacks on the roster have won games for Tampa Bay. Jake Plummer is the odd man out (for a lot of reasons). Their records, including playoffs: Jeff Garcia (8-6), Brian Griese (10-7), Chris Simms (7-9), Luke McCown (1-2), Bruce Gradkowski (3-8).

I hope we don't let him get out the door as he could go with the better D as a first option.
Ole Bryzcheapski better have been hording money for just such a pick.
;D

LOL - if the Vikings trade away their first-round pick - can I get a refund on my draft party ticket?

=Z=

But then we would just get to meet Jared Allen instead...it might turn out even BETTER than you thought.
A party is STILL a party!!!
