Josh Allen Trade Rumors: Kansas City Chiefs checked on his availability with the Jaguars

It is rumored that the Jacksonville Jaguars might trade their linebacker Josh Allen before the trade deadline. The NFL trade deadline is scheduled until November 1, 4:00 pm EDT. All teams have one day left to upgrade their roster before they start with their Week 9 game of the season.

We have some big names available for a trade and one such player is linebacker Josh Allen, whose availability has been checked by many NFL teams. The Kansas City Chiefs are one of them, as they are looking to upgrade their defense. The Chiefs want a pass rusher on their side, and they want Allen to join them in the second-half of the season.

The final statement hasn't arrived from the Jaguars regarding the trade, but there is still a day left.

Will the Jaguars trade Josh Allen before the Tuesday deadline?

The Jaguars are a competitive team with a 2-5 record this season and it would be surprising if they trade one of their best defensive players. Pass rushers play an important part for the team, especially during the playoffs and the Super Bowl, and trading him mid-way through the season wouldn't seem like a good idea.

So far, the Jaguars haven't reacted, and they probably won't entertain the idea of trading Josh Allen to the Chiefs. Allen is playing the last season of his four-year rookie contract with the Jaguars. So far, Josh Allen has started in 34 of the 48 games and has recorded 23.5 sacks, 97 tackles, 60 QB hits, and five forced fumbles.

His performances have taken a hit in the last two seasons, but they are still a major part of the Jaguars defense. The Jaguars want him back in form before they think of extending his contract, and that is the only reason he might end up getting traded to a new team. The Jaguars can easily trade him for a 2023 first-round draft pick right now, or they might have to pay a higher price if they extend his long-term contract.

Josh Allen had a ground-breaking rookie season where he had 10.5 sacks, 44 tackles, and 23 QB hits. He made it to the Pro Bowl and was fourth in line to be selected as Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2019. He ended his last season with 7.5 sacks, 71 tackles, and 14 QB hits in 16 games.
