Kansas City is looking to unload Jared Allen and Tampa Bay is on his list of teams to visit.

Allen, the NFL's reigning sack leader, told FOXSports.com that the Vikings and Buccaneers have held trade talks with the Chiefs and he anticipates a deal will get done prior to next week's draft.

I don't care what his mullet looks like, get this done. If there was ever a draft to unload a high pick on a big name, this is the one. The value the Bucs will get out of Allen for their first rounder almost definitely outweighs what they would get for anyone likely to drop to #20 this year.

UPDATED: From ESPN:

The Bucs have offered their first-round pick and a fifth-round pick next year, and their proposed deal could also include defensive lineman Jovan Haye, Smith reported.

Uhh, ok, but that's quite enough. Haye is currently the best under tackle on the team (although he's not officially under contract.) Kevin Carter would likely slide into that position for the season unless the coaches see something in Greg Peterson that hasn't been readily apparent to this point. And this would probably cement the drafting of Pat Sims (Auburn) or Trevor Laws (Notre Dame) in the second or third rounds.

I can't believe Chris Simms isn't part of these talks. With Brodie Croyle the de facto starter, they could use some competition at quarterback.

Jared Allen still has to work on his YMCA moves.
