NFL Trade: Carolina Panthers acquire Jared Allen

 

[richig07]

Wow. I can't believe someone took that contract off our hands.

Late round pick.....good move by the Bears

 

[leomaz]

Trying to find out what cap relief we are getting

 

[anotheridiot]

The Bears paid Allen's $11.5 million roster bonus this year and his base salary entering the 2015 season was only $1 million, so the Panthers are on the hook for roughly $882,000 the rest of the season.

Conditional draft pick, for this bargain it might be a bit higher than expected.

Fuck...

Great move, get younger. The money was already paid but we got a 6th rd pick? i heard.

 

[cubzzzfanincali]

wow, interesting. Doesn't buy us much cap relief but I guess another pick never hurts. Carolina is a better fit for him anyway.

 

[noonthirtyjoe]

We need to let the other guys play anyway.

 

[beardown07]

pretty shocking, but did notice he didn't hardly play in the 2nd half yesterday, with Acho getting most the snaps, if not all.

 

[Balljim55]

This was a win/win. He will be in on passing situations in our 4/3 defense which he is much better suited for.. Our DE Charles Johnson will be out extended game due to major hamstring issue..

 

[JoeyTourettes]

Didn't see this coming... was thinking Willie Young would be the one to go. But I guess because they still have years on his deal they couldn't move him (if they tried, or if anyone was looking due to his injury last year) Assuming we see more of him going forward.

He should have been cut in march, but now fans are giving Pace credit for getting 6th rounders for a guy owed next to nothing in NFL terms.

 

[Skerpokes]

Makes sense. Smart move

Pretty much, we are going to OWN the last half of the draft.. heh.

If he had been cut in March, it would have saved them the check, but not the cap hit. The roster bonus was part of the original deal and it would have all wound up as dead money anyway. So the incentive to cut him then was pretty minor.

I was thinking that too, and maybe they may still try to trade Young.

Funny thing is you think you know everything but in reality you are just plain stupid
