What the?? Hawks trying to trade for Jared Allen?

[Brahn]

Guys! Qb insurance to take the huge hits created from our O Line

Wow I never knew Allen taught Tebow how to throw.

 

[TheHawkster]

I rather trade for a receiver.

Like one that doesn't get concussed by falling on the ground?

Can we give them Bevell for JA?

I'd be fine if we gave them Bevell for nothing in return. Addition through subtraction is always sexy.

Rapoport shooting this down:

@RapSheet: On reports of Seahawks pursuing Jared Allen: Anything is possible. But SEA source say interest is vastly overblown (& have just $2M in space

FWIW:

Vikings are playing Schefter to get higher comp from other teams. 49ers and Broncos also reportedly "interested."

Also possible.

With Aldon Smith's shenanigans, I could definitely see the whiners going after Allen. But I imagine the Hawks are nothing more than a pawn to up the anti on compensation.

Well there's that.

 

[Blitzer88]

Yeah i can't see this happening, also, wouldn't trading for an offensive lineman be more helpful? lol.

 

[GCrow]

Foreshadowing? (though not necessairly for seattle)

Minnesota Vikings ‏@Vikings 7m
The #Vikings have waived TE Chase Ford and have signed DE Justin Trattou.

Interesting timing for them to sign a DE.

 

[jblaze]

This makes no sense. This is the one position we're stacked at.

I hope they're just running up the cost for Harbaugh. If he hears we're interested, he'll take it personally and offer the bank.

 

[brimsalabim]

Corner the market on DE's then ship some for stud OT's and TE's?

or maybe we switch Jared to OT? :roll:

 

[minormillikin]

I've always wished this guy was a Seahawk.

 

[RolandDeschain]

Lol:

Pete Prisco ‏@PriscoCBS 2m
Seattle wants Jared Allen? Does he play offense?

 

[Hasselbeck]

Russell Wilson can't get sacked if we trade for all the pass rushers in the league.

BRILLIANT

 

[CortezKennedyfan]

This is about a D that needs to improve on the left side against the run...and now that Bruce Irvin is a linebacker, could use some pass rush help. LOB + Allen/Mebane/Bryant/Avril/Clemons etc. + Irvin/Smith/Wright/Wagner (the fastest LB core in the NFL) means it covers up our O-line woes for the next 3-4 weeks until we get our O-tackles back.

 

[Ozzy]

After thinking about it I doubt it happens. I think we are driving up the price or low balling hoping they take it.

That would be unusual since the primary cause of concussions is falling on the ground.

I laughed

Win. :mrgreen:

Or maybe the FO is thinking, "Okay, let's assume we get one big play to Tate each game... so we need to keep buffing up the defense until all we need is to score 3 and victory is assured."
