Come On!

Haven't the Seattle Seahawks filled their quota of former Minnesota Vikings players? This goes all the way back to Carl Eller. The Seahawks are attempting to bring it full circle by adding another former Vikings defensive end. Jared Allen may one day join Eller in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. For now, he might be playing for the Seattle Seahawks. They've made him an offer. He said that he'd take the weekend to think about it. This is really getting tiresome. If there's one team in the league that I'd rather not see populated by former Vikings, it's the Seattle Seahawks. Pete Carroll is just creepy. That's probably the USC influence. Seattle can't even come up with an original moniker for their fans. They have to buy one from Texas A&M. Personally, I think that the Seahawks are still pissed about losing Ahmad Rashad and Steve Hutchinson to the Vikings.They gave away Rashad. They simply forgot where they had placed Hutchinson and left him unattended.

Jared Allen would be seeing some familiar faces in Seattle:
Percy Harvin
Heath Farwell
Tarvaris Jackson
Sidney Rice might be back with the Seahawks after being released by them.
offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell

Even head coach Pete Carroll spent some time with the Vikings but that was in the 1980s. If he has any redeeming qualities, it's from his time with the Vikings.

I think what bothers me most about these defections is that Harvin, Rice, and Allen were three of my favorite players on the Minnesota Vikings. Harvin and Rice should have gotten their Super Bowl rings with the Vikings in 2009. It doesn't sit right that they got them with the Seahawks last year. Allen could be getting one of his own next year. The Seahawks already had a Super defense. Allen makes it even better. I question whether he's going to like the manner in which the Seahawks rotate their defensive linemen. He never liked coming off of the field in Minnesota, ever. He even wanted to play offense. The Seahawks rotate their linemen more than most. We'll see. Winning games usually keeps even frustrated players happy.

Hopefully, Jared Allen doesn't join the Viking westward migration. One was too many.
