The Minnesota Vikings have made five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen available on the trade market, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer is reporting.

The 32-year-old, who is in the final year of a six-year, $72-million contract, could be acquired "for the right price," according to Glazer. That price would need to be better than a third-round draft pick, since the Vikings would receive a third-rounder as compensation if Allen leaves in free agency.
