I'd offer a 2nd and a 3rd and pay him money comparable to Jared Allen, but yeah it's not happening because it doesn't go with this regime's style.

Exactly!! That's what I don't understand. Anyone that thinks that wouldn't be worth a 2nd round is crazy. As you have said often Porky, we could still have Peppers and pay the guys that we need to resign. Anyone who doesn't think that is crazy as well.
Perhaps he would be over rated. But I don't see how you could argue that he wouldn't help this team. Front load his contract and get a super talented player on this team to improve our pass rush. An improved pass rush and we are instantly a better team.
I understand that it's not going to happen, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
EDIT: I would be totally ok with this move not happening if we would add another solid veteran or two such as Carter and / or Holliday. No complaints at all. Perhaps this will happen after the draft, who knows. If none of this happens then I can't help but questioning is Thompson is really doing everything he can to improve this team.
