If he's cheap enough, hell yeah, sign him. We had that other thread about Arthur Jones and Lamarr Houston; I'd take Jared Allen over either of them any day - and he'd probably cost less.

Jared Allen does not fit the scheme. He's too small to play 3-4 end and you don’t take a guy who has played with his hand in the dirt for 10 years and make him into an outside linebacker. If you want to upgrade the pass rush with a veteran, then Lamarr Woodley is a better investment for the Packers.

I absolutely would NOT want another Neal-like experiment - making him an OLB. I also agree he isn't suited to be a full time 3-4 DE. However, as a fairly low cost pass rush specialist - hand in the dirt, I like that idea. Same side as Matthews/Opposite side as Matthews, either way sounds pretty good.

I suppose Allen will demand too much money, though.

It would be a pretty sweet burn on the Vikings to sign him for two years, and win two Super Bowls. But realistically, if you would sign Jared, then just flip back to a 4-3 and have Matthews put his hand in the dirt and rush the passer.

Mucky Tundra (8-Mar) : RB Kareem Hunt as well

Zero2Cool (8-Mar) : Tyreek Hill also arrested before or during Chiefs time for assault.

Mucky Tundra (8-Mar) : I suppose that puts Seattle in play for a QB in the 1st round this year

Mucky Tundra (8-Mar) : Gotta say, didn't see Geno getting traded from the Seahawks

Zero2Cool (3-Mar) : We have re-signed LB Isaiah McDuffie

Zero2Cool (2-Mar) : Jets taking calls for Davante Adams. That $38m cap number hurting lol

Zero2Cool (2-Mar) : Guess it's not official until the 12th

Zero2Cool (2-Mar) : Deebo went for a 5th to Commanders?

Martha Careful (1-Mar) : Just like my late husband!!

Zero2Cool (1-Mar) : Once fired up, it should be good

Martha Careful (27-Feb) : is it just me, or has the website been slow the last couple of days?

Zero2Cool (24-Feb) : Packers. 🤦

Zero2Cool (24-Feb) : One team.

Zero2Cool (24-Feb) : One team petition NFL to ban Brotherly Shove.

beast (23-Feb) : Seems like he was just pissed because he was no longer the starter

beast (23-Feb) : Campbell is right, he's rich and he doesn't have to explain sh!t... but that attitude gives teams reasons to never sign him again.
