Jared Allen Asked to be Traded to Carolina


Varking

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.

    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
    • Aho likes to score vs the Rags. Going with him.
