    What's there to discuss? Who wouldn't want Jared Allen on their team?

    Any word on numbers? I'm assuming one year, $5 or $6 mill?

    This is fantastic news.

    Supposedly a 2 year deal not sure the $$$ yet.

    Yet another fantastic move by the JS & PC (assuming price is decent).

    Gotta love Seahook.net. Shitload of them calling Allen "washed up" after 11.5 sacks last season on a shitty defense. A lot of them who were talking shit all of a sudden never said he was washed up now that he is on the team.

    Hey doogs this is what closing looks like, the Seahawks are elite because they don't "almost" land somebody".

    According to Seahooks.net, all of his sacks last year were coverage sacks. Apparently Minnesota's secondary is that good. Nevermind that they were atrocious defensively last year and their secondary was pure garbage that started Chris Cook all season.

    The Hooks are elite because they they don't panic and throw money around early in FA. They know the bargains come later. Last week Allen was unattainable. This week he's a Hawk.

    Throwdown on seahooks wonders if he will even make the team next season, citing the Winfield situation last year. Jesus christ that forum needs it's own biggus dickus.

    This is awesome. Allen wants a ring, and is going to play like a man possessed to get one

    Worst... comparison... ever...

    Winfield was a 36 year old cornerback and Allen is a 32 year old DE who had a good season last year.

    Ian Rappoporpropopporot is "reporting" that he just came into town for another meeting, happened to drag his wife along with him.

    Ian on the radio yesterday basically said the Seahawks don't have much of a chance at all to sign him, I think this is his damage control.

    So he's saying there's not a deal in place?

    Apparently Allen's agent is saying he is just on a "visit".

    So now we have a win/win scenario in front of us.

    Outcome A: Seahawks signed an elite pass rusher who still has a year or two left in him for most likely a very good deal.

    Outcome B: ESPN reported this way too soon and will look like idiots.


    Either way it will be interesting.

    ESPN is looking really stupid in this deal.
    I still think he's a seahawks, 2nd visit, brought his wife, this werder stuff doesn't get made up out of nothing, it makes me believe they are close.
    Kam can claim he mistyped, but he didn't, if Kam says he'll be a seahawks I'll believe him

    It pretty much sounds like unless someone gives him an offer he can't refuse he will be a Seahawk next year.

    the hooks are out in full force. Our guy Blitzer88 thinks because Allen left that he won't sign with us. A bunch of others (like Throwdown) DWHA.
    I can't believe people thinking he left means he won't sign here. He's clearly giving all the other teams a final chance using the hawks as leverage.

    Blitzer is very worried about this. Also the sky is blue.

    Adam Schefter works for Doogman now?

    Today's media has gone to shit. I remember 10 years ago when Roof Robins was pulling this shit just so she could be FIRST! now every fucking news outlet is doing this shit and it's so god damn annoying.

    It's really crazy, back when Green Bay won the Super Bowl, they were considered the model franchise that could do no wrong, won a SuperBowl with all those guys injured, Rogers is the man, they will only get better, etc. etc. And now that team is basically the Seahawks, but even more bad ass. They let Tate go who was overrated, resigned Bennet, prolly getting Allen, and they just got done prison-fucking the best AFC team in the SB with the team they have. Their secondary will reach legendary status depending on what happens next year. WTF is going on.
