Allen dealt to Vikings for 3 picks

[Sabres244]

he Kansas Chiefs have agreed to trade Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen to the Minnseota Vikings, reports NFL Network's Adam Schefter.

The Chiefs will receive Minnesota's first- (17th overall) and both of its third-round picks (73rd and 82nd) as compensation. Kansas City has been looking to acquire additional draft picks in an attempt to speed up coach Herm Edwards' rebuilding project for a team that lost its last nine games in 2007 and finished 4-12.

The Vikings also agreed on a new contract with Allen, which will be finalized Wednesday. Allen flew to Minnesota on Tuesday night in anticipation of Wednesday's events.

The Vikings fill one of their biggest needs by adding Allen to their front four. The Pro Bowl starter had a league-leading 15.5 sacks in 2007 along with 67 tackles, three forced fumbles and 18 pressures in only 14 games.

Minnesota's defense is without a doubt one of the best,more athletes on the DL than most teams could ever hope for.Now lets hope Allen can remain on the field,another DUI and he will be suspended.Best of luck to the Chiefs,Vikings and Jared Allen.

Makes the Vikes front 4 deadly, even better if Udeze comes back from his cancer treatments.

Safe to say now I think KC takes Gholston at 5

This should speed their rebuilding up quickly by trading away one of their best young players.
