Colts Trade Dwayne Allen to the Patriots
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet
Source: The #Patriots are trading for #Colts TE Dwayne Allen. Wow. I...wow. You're right, Rap. Wow. |
Came here to post this myself. I'm good with this trade depending on what the Colts get in return.

A source tells me that this deal is likely for a late round pick. And they're apparently dumping him for peanuts? Okay strike one, Ballard. What the fuck? |

More WHOA!!! Traded Martellus Bennett for Dwayne Allen!!! We did business with the Pats lol ... times change 😂😂😂😂 I'm...pretty sure that Mathis is just trying to be funny (and failing). We...didn't really get Martellus Bennett, did we? |

Well this is fucking stupid
|
I wouldn't mind trading him if we got a good pick but shit dude the patriots are going to get him for nothing. Not happy if we don't at least get a 4th.
|
Hopefully we at least get a 4th rounder.
Since the pats won the Superbowl, it would be the last pick in the round. |
It needs to be a good pick in return.

Good. Should've let him leave last year.

The odds Allen isn't in the pro bowl next year?

4th round pick from the Patriots for TE Dwayne Allen & a 6th round pick... :cool:
|
If it is a 4th rounder then I think I'm okay with it.

This is a horrible deal |
Would have been nice to get a 3rd, but ok.
Ballard must not have liked what he saw in allen - contribution, playing time, contract, combination of all. I suppose the thinking is we can get a blocker for cheaper and use doyle and swoop as pass catchers (with doyle blocking some as well). Here's to hoping allen's yearly injury streak continues! Do we incure any dead money in this? |

We traded away Dwayne Allen and:
Got $2.933m in additional cap space -- AND -- Pick #31 in 4th round (#137 overall) We gave up an inconsistent TE getting paid big bucks -- AND -- Pick #16 in 6th round (#200 overall) If Allen plays liked his rookie year again, then we got fleeced. If Allen plays like his last 3 years, then we make out depending on whom we get. My only downside is that I was earmarking that 6th round pick for our punter. Cheers, |
still not as bad as the infamous TR trade!
|
Also, now we have only Doyle and Swoope. We'll have to sign or draft a tight end. Or an UDFA.
|
I'm good with this Doyle's the man and Swoope looked good when he got on the field

I hate the guy like a butt rash but damn is he good. |
Well off goes Allen
Can't say I am too disappointed. Too many injuries for him. |
Love this deal. I hated having all that money tied up in 2 tight ends. Free's up some cap space. We now have 3 fourth round picks, and Allen wasn't that fucking good anyway.

Allen just has been injured too much for anyone to get much out of him. |

1st round, #15 overall
2nd round, #46 overall 3rd round, #80 overall 4th round, #122 overall 4th round, #137 overall (from Pats) 4th round, #144 overall (comp pick) 5th round, #158 overall 7 picks in top 158 where our "fair share" is 4.98 picks. If this draft really is as deep in areas of need as most are saying (LB, D-Line, CB, RB), then we could do well from this draft. Some "experts" are saying that 4th round picks would be 2nd round picks in other years. We will see. Cheers, |
I guess we save some money.
Belichick is going to make it work for Allen. He's not going to be asked to be Gronkowski and he still gives New England the versatility they want out of almost every player. New England is not the team I want to see us help. Unless you pull some fucking stud in the 4th this sucks imo. |
