Panthers Trade for Jared Allen

[Mr. Scot]

wait scot you think this move is being made for the future?

 

lololololololololol

Thanks for proving my point about your capacity for understanding.

God if only we would also pull a trade of the same caliber at WR, it would restore my faith in the Panthers making a  deep playoff run. We don't have many holes, but that 1 is a big one that we should fix. 

[Mr. Scot]

Allen had a short list where he wanted to be traded.

That's interesting.

How can you not like this move?  Giving up practically nothing, paying him practically nothing (Bears covered most of that) and bringing him back to his natural position where he was very productive.  With CJ out, we have very little at DE.  With all his bonehead penalties, Ealy seems closer to being in the doghouse and riding the bench.  If Allen returns to being half the DE he was before becoming an OLB for the Bears, we just upgraded an area that was a glaring weakness.  Personally, can't wait to see him in a Panthers uniform.

Lol ok...

The Jared Allen?  No, seriously this time...the Jared Allen?

oh Scot make sure you say "i know you are but what am i" next, that's another classic uninsulting gem from your era.

 

Don't forget to toss in another piece of your signature football nonknowledge to really establish your post

Spoke with Ken Harris, Jared Allen’s agent. Trade began with Allen sitting with #BearsGM Ryan Pace & discussing mutually beneficial option

Allen knew he wasn’t a fit for the 3-4.#Bears knew it, too. Pace & Allen agreed another place was better. Allen came up with a 4-3 list

I should have added this, 

[SOJA]

Absolutely love this trade. Pass rush was quietly the worse unit on this team. Allen is a monster and will be motivated to be on a playoff team. Finally, we only gave up a sixth rounder and are only paying him 800 k ???? Gettle fookin magic

Growl and Mr. Scot must be married.

This sounds less like a "fire sale" and more just a team and player realizing they weren't good for one another and finding a mutual solution.

Well, I know I don't have to worry about you tossing any football knowledge in.

And to be clear, this is about as much effort as having a conversation with you is worth expending.

Don Gettleman!!!!

Best years are behind him but still better than what we have at present.
