Jared Allen Asked to be Traded to Carolina

According this this article,  

As for Allen, the trade to the Panthers was a topic the player broached first, and sending him to Carolina allowed a player ill-fitting of the 3-4 system to find a home while allowing the Bears to dress Willie Young, a better fit for them. As for Bostic, his inability to stay healthy made him expendable.

 I didn't see this posted anywhere else but it is pretty cool that a player has no ill-will and sort of looks out for two organizations at once. He understood the Bears needed to rebuild and he was playing out of position.  The organization respected him enough to trade him to a NFC contender in Carolina when they likely could have sent him anywhere for a 6th round pick.

I think this was posted somewhere on that hectic Monday or Tuesday whichever day the trade was, but no issue with me. Props to the Bears GM for allowing a respected veteran like Allen to look for a trade partner. This is a win win win for the Bears, Allen and the Panthers.

      Some people have been beaten down so long they have no standards. Can't be reasoned with.

      Getting better, might be fairly charitable. We finished 1-3 with the pressure on. That is for sure not trending up.  I don’t see a clear run of performances that prove he has taken it to another level. Not yet.  I would say he played really well in the WC game. And folded on that last series where we still had a chance. I think he threw one good ball. That last series is the kind of thing a player is supposed to learn from and not repeat. We have to see him do it before we can credit him for doing it.    I would also say he has not done enough of playing at his ceiling and what we should expect as the game in game out norm is still not established.  We gonna get MNF in SF or we gonna get the WC game? Seattle or Atlanta yardage record?   Besides that he has three years of horrendous play to start the season hanging over him. Are we going to get that again or will he be over that? We can’t know that. Mind you, that isn‘t two of three it is three of three he has yet to play well to start the year as a pro. Ofer.    So, many questions remain.    As far as weapons and help… said it before. Fix the OL so we can protect him.  It is time for a 1.1 pick in his 4th season, third year in the same offense, to elevate the players we have given him. You can’t keep up the level of investment dedicated to propping him up, you have to prop up the defense too and get some balance.

      Yeah, just got back to the house from doing some actual work, hopefully they create some better chances in the second half. 3-1 looks tough for you
