Sucks just as bad every time I hear it.
:biggrin:
It does indeed; to think that we will be without the services of Jared Allen after the 08 season.Quote:

He still may not be with us this year. If a team wants him bad enough, and gives us two first rounders...he's gone-which would suck!!
I would prefer that to the Tag and then letting him go for nothing. I still believe that they will work out something long term. Just change the name on LJ's contract and pretend they never signed him to big money!! :DQuote:

I'm glad the current system allows for players to negotiate for the highest amount possible for their contracts.
Sucks when it is one of our own trying to get his money, but I understand where they are coming from.
i read the pats or philly mightbe interested. i would trade him for the pats 1st rnder. which is #7. a 5th and a 7th could fill alot of holes. i know he needs to get paid but its hard to feel sorry for someone who just landed almost 9 mil and is crying.

We have to keep a delicate balance of really good players to players that suck ratio in order to remain mediocre at best.Quote:

I see us getting a contract signed with JA. I know Carl drops the ball alot but I don't think he will let JA get away.
I sure hope so!Quote:

Yep!Quote:

Jared is gone after this year. Carl will make that happen. Just ask John Tait.
Good point.Quote:

Nope. LJ was still bound by his rookie contract when he held-out.Quote:
