It was reported earlier today by ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the Seattle Seahawks were working on a trade for Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen.
That was followed by reports that the Seahawks interest in Allen was overblown and that their cap space would be an obstacle to complete the move. The Seahawks only have $2 million in available space.
Now Schefter and FOX Sports Jay Glazer are reporting that the Seahawks are not expected to trade for Allen.
Contrary to what is out there Seattle is NOT one of the teams in it for Jared Allen. Two others but Seattle is not talking to Vikes for him
