Panthers Trade for Jared Allen

[PhillyB]

Bitch ass move locking my thread just so you could post one Igo. Bitch ass move.

wait i just saw this... pretty lame to care that much bro

[Jon Snow]

At 850k and a 6th round pick this trade is a nobrainer.   Quality depth at a discount price.  Fat bastard doing some work.

You guys work fast lol

Gettleman, just go ahead and do it man. Bring up Cox from the practice squad...

 

 

Allen - Love - Short - Cox

 

 

Just do it!

[Growl]

Because everyone knows guys you trade for are no higher quality than unemployed players, right?

the trade pool has always been a part of that discussion by a great many posters here. If you had trouble comprehending that written text it's okay but don't grow an attitude once the reality sets in.

Bears mailing it in.  Even with Cutler they suck ass.  Nice to see Gettleman has their FO on speed-dial for when they are going down the crapper.  I can just imagine them taking his call, like "what the fug are you here to take now?"

Allen will bring some fire to that D-Line.  I don't care what he does or doesn't have left in the tank, maybe going from 0-3 to 3-0 overnight will rejuvenate his career and get the pass rush on point.  If Jameis is smart, he'll lube up good on Sunday.

With Short and Star at DT, Jared should make his presence felt.

This is the kind of low risk/high reward move everybody should be able to support.

Carolina Bears

don't want to hijack this thread, but Olsen, Peanut and now Allen! What kinda blackmail/backroom shenanigans pictures does Big Cat have with the Bears owner? 

Lions and Panthers and Bears...oh my!!!!

Bears are expected to receive a conditional draft pick in exchange for Allen.

It's a conditional 6th round pick.  Probably moves up to a 5th if he balls out.

[All about the Benjamin]

A move like this early in the season indicates that the coaching staff, FO and ownership feel they can contend this year and want to shore up any weak points on the team to compete in January

I partially agree, but we haven't done much to shore up the WR position. Kevin Norwood does not look like the answer (nor did I ever think he was).

[Dunn]

With Short and Star at DT, Jared should make his presence felt. 

Exactly what I was thinking.  He had decent DT's in Minn. when he was going off in the last 4 seasons he was with the Vikings, I'd feel that Star and Short are just as good, if not better then what he had in Minn.

I predict a fishing trip will occur with Jared Allen and Brandon Wegher.
