2026 Free Agency and Draft: DL

[supafreak84]

I'm not a Doogie fan, but I agree. Jonathan Allen was a disgraceful, overpaid bullshit player. KAM should have been fired for that signing alone. Out with the old.

Agreed. This team has so many damn needs from years of draft misses under Kwesi that they have to absolutely look to move assets like Greenard for draft capital. Every level of the defense needs help along with just about every level of the offense. The only place we are solid at is special teams lol

The warning signs from Washington were there on Allen: doesn't try hard enough. Coasts. Nobody was going to give him a contract anywhere near what KAM did. Its gross.

Allen still provided some pass rush last season. It wouldn't bother me at all to draft an IDL to play the run like Kayden McDonald or Caleb Banks & sub in Allen on passing downs.

Allen's cap number might be prohibitive to cutting him this year.

I think that's what most of us thought, but according to Doogie, sources have told him that it would be an "incredible longshot" for either of those players to be on our roster this upcoming season. Apparently the Vikings are currently shopping Hargrave, but they won't find a trade partner when they know he will get released anyway.

If both are gone, that leaves you with Redmond and a bunch of guys who were late round draft picks still trying to find their way. Not good

Exactly...

And I dont know whats going to hit the FA mkt at IDL this year. 

But it's because of the lack of depth and the contract, why I believe Allen will be here 1 more year.
