  1. He has a bright future. His game is unreal for a true freshman TE.
  2. I agree. Easily the best player in our secondary.
  3. I want to go on a run and win it all. Worse case scenario is winning a couple games, missing the playoffs and drafting middle of the pack.

The NFLPA, apprised of these correspondences, sharply criticized the league’s attitude toward the union. "The exchange is absolutely concerning," said George Atallah, assistant executive director of external affairs for the NFLPA. "But also, like most of the other revelations of the last 10 days, not all that surprising. The union, since 2009, has done everything it can to provide historical context to our membership, and especially to our player leaders, about how the league and the owners view the union. The email exchange is just a continuation of a history that the NFL and its owners should not be proud of as it relates to what they think about players and how they treat players." In the 2011 email exchange, the two appear to jest that Allen traded Vonnie Holliday because he was a union representative. The trade occurred in the days after a four-and-a-half-month lockout. "I see your player rep is headed out west," Pash wrote. Allen replied, "Just a coincidence. Amazing how it works out." Pash: "Life is full of those little amazing coincidences." Asked if the NFLPA would request an investigation into the email and the 2011 trade, Atallah did not rule it out: "We have a responsibility to our membership — past, present and future. And we have called for full transparency so that we can review things in their entirety." The Washington Football Team did not reply to a query about the emails. This comes on the heels of the New York Times report quoting Pash emailing Allen that he was doing the "Lord's work" by cutting salary (the franchise had been docked significant cap space at the time so had no choice but to shed player payroll). There has been a steady drip of leaked emails to and from Allen, who has been out of football since the WFT franchise fired him in December 2019 after a decade running the club. The emails were collected as part of an NFL investigation into the WFT after a report in The Washington Post sparked a league probe that resulted in investigator Lisa Friel calling the team's workplace culture "very toxic" in July. The league found a pattern of sexual harassment with the team, fined the team $10 million and Snyder stepped aside from operations of the franchise for an undetermined time. But they offered no written report of the investigation or its findings. However, 650,000 team emails were amassed, and some have been made public in the past two weeks. They included Jon Gruden’s racist email to Allen in 2011 about Smith, the NFLPA executive director. Then came Gruden-Allen emails in which the coach used a homophobic remark in regards to commissioner Roger Goodell and denounced alleged league efforts to sign "queer" players. This led to the Las Vegas head coach’s resignation. The league told the New York Times that Pash’s correspondences with Allen were appropriate, reflecting his efforts to establish amicable relations with teams.
