It looks like that blockbuster trade we were all hoping to see prior to today’s NFL trade deadline may happen after all, as the Seattle Seahawks, fresh off of a narrow win over the struggling St. Louis Rams, are potentially on the verge of assing one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL over the past decade.

The Minnesota Vikings have rebuffed all trade talks to this point for All-Pro defensive end Jared Allen, but they may be willing to do a deal at the deadline if he price is right, and that’s believed to be a third-round draft pick or higher.

The Hawks may be the ones to do it:
