Boone 304 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Tore the UCL in his elbow, played all 79 snaps in the game. Doesn't get any tougher than that! We gotta resign this guy. Burpo The Mad Clown, SEMO and West 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gotta resign this guy. Allegretti may have played himself into a good offer to start for another team. Would love to keep him, but how much can the Chiefs afford for a backup IOL? Maybe the plan could be to have him replace Smith at RG the next year since Smith will command a good payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpo The Mad Clown 5,554 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Re-signing Allegretti has got to be a priority. But, Jet has a point. A starting quality guard who sits on the bench may be a luxury the Chiefs cannot afford. Would love to see him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegoatee 1,780 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Unless Thuney or Smith are somehow not retained, they likely cannot keep him unless he wants to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has surgery no one will sign him if it's a long recovery. West 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a recovery for his elbow as long as a similar injury to a knee? Sure would be nice to have him back next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea for a lineman but that can't be much better. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkuenn 3,597 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I said in another topic we were fine with Allegretti at LG when Thuney went down. Now seeing this and if he can play sooner rather than later before the season starts..... what if Thuney moved to LT, Allegretti then at LG? Might take care if the LT for now while we go after other needs in FA and draft for a future tackle etc. oldtimer and SEMO 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AQ Shipley was on yesterday's Pat McAfee show and while he gave the nod to Allegretti for finishing the game, he did state that a lot of linemen suffer this injury, and referred to the number of elbow braces worn by OLinemen around the league. He named a few others and said they played the season with torn UCLs. Recovery timelines are probably different for OLine vs. MLB pitchers and NFL QBs (this was Purdy's injury last year). But still, hell of a job to play through it, especially against SF's DLine. oldtimer, West and qnet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
