    Are we? I'm not so sure. Wouldn't be shocked if AH has no longterm deal in place before the season starts.

    I think AH does more for a defense becuase of the blockers he eats that Jarrd Allen does. And I expect his contract to be in the 5 years, 40 mil, 10 guaranteed range.

    $10 mil guaranteed? Tommy Kelly got a seven-year deal worth $50.5 mil and $18 mil guaranteed.

    Al's will eclipse it.

    Albert will get almost identical money to Freeney.

    Jared Allen is worth it, but you can't have two guys paid like that on your D-Line.

    We can sign one (Albert) without giving up any compensation, or we can give up a 1st and a 2nd (or possible a 1st and a 3rd) to get one of these guys.

    Nice to dream, but we are better off building our D-Line around the guy already on our team.

    Allen may be large piece in Chiefs' rebuilding plan

    As improbable as it might have sounded at the end of last season when he led the NFL in sacks, the Kansas City Chiefs could be willing to part with All-Pro defensive end Jared Allen while he's in the prime of his career. ...more

    Kearse hasn't been a pro bowl caliber DE for quite a while, and as soon as he's injured who are we left with?

    What concerns?

    Jared Allen is established and dominant. I really don't want us to trade away our draft picks. It's a tough call, not sure what I'd like the Titans to do.

    This is exactly why we couldn't get him because then we would have 2 huge contracts on our d-line. I understand that some guys are concerned about the other de spot but we have 2 pro-bowlers already on our d-line. We just need a guy to compliment them we don't need another superstar.

    Good point. I should have said 15-20 mil guaranteed.
