An NFL source indicated that Allen and the Vikings were close enough to an agreement that one could likely be hammered out if the two teams agree on the draft-pick compensation.</p><p> Allen could make a visit this week to see the Buccaneers in Tampa. </p><p> Allen, who led the NFL in sacks last season with 15 1/2 , has wanted out of Kansas City since negotiations for a long-term contract broke down last year.</p><p> The Chiefs made Allen their franchise player this year and are obligated to offer him a one-year, $8.9 million contract.</p><p> He is free to sign a contract offer sheet with the Vikings, Bucs or any other team. The Chiefs would have the right to match.</p><p> If they decline, they would receive two first-round draft picks from Allen&#8217;s new team. Vikings coach Brad Childress told reporters in Minnesota last week the Vikings would not trade two first-round picks for Allen.</p><p></div>
