Thank you for your service Mr. Allen - you were a bright spot in a lot of dismal years. But the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. Not personal, just business.

Supposedly the draft is good for defensive tackles this year, we're probably not gonna get much for him. Love the person but his best years are behind him. This is the tough part of the business. I'm sure a lot of fans appreciate his hard work in the prime of his career that was pretty much wasted.

Likely headed to be cut, but Allen played well for us in some tough years.

Hoping he lands on his feet somewhere

How much will we save with him not on the books

How much will we save with him not on the books

All of it. No guaranteed money this year, his 15+ million will come off the books.

It would be nice to get a pick for him but seems unlikely, so he will get cut.

Great dude will always root for him

Does he go through waivers if cut or instant FA? someone might come in with a deal if they want to jump the queue.

This interview will always live rent free in my head. He spoke for many of us that day, shame he's getting up there in years. Hope he finds success at his next stop.

I mean he just turned 30, no reason he can’t still be very productive for a few more seasons

This sucks, but Allen didn't really play up to his contract in the last 2 years. For his sake, I hope he will be traded to a contender team.
