"I'm not na茂ve to the point that I don't understand the business side of this or understand the trends that have happened in the past," Allen said, adding: "Some things are out of your control, and this one is out of your control. We're moving forward. And when the smoke settles, everybody will be where they're supposed to be, whether it's here or whether it's not. That will be decided at that time, but right now I'm having fun getting a chance to put this uniform on one more time."
The sentiment for Allen will be especially high considering the probability he'll be playing next to defensive tackle Kevin Williams, who has become a close friend, for the final time. Williams is the longest-tenured player on the team,Nike Air Max Ale, and the 33-year-old will also be a free agent in the spring.
