Eagles offered Sheppard and picks for Jared Allen
Quote:
The Philadelphia Eagles are among a handful of teams that inquired about securing defensive end Jared Allen, who led the NFL with 15½ sacks last year. For now, the Kansas City Chiefs want choice draft picks, not a combination of players and picks for Allen, whom the club designated as its franchise player.
The Eagles discussed shipping cornerback Lito Sheppard and picks to the Chiefs, but not their first-round pick, according to a source. Sheppard's recent history of nagging injuries didn't win the Eagles any points, either.
Allen (6-6, 270) is being heavily pursued by the Minnesota Vikings, and to a lesser degree the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's unclear whether the Eagles would meet the contract demands of Allen, who quietly wants a pact with $30 million guaranteed.

He's worth at least a first, wondered what picks they offered.
