it's amazing

how agents always seem to have “numerous” teams with lots of “interest” in their clients, when they talk to the press.

Look at all the FAs out there, most say “several teams are interested, we’re just trying to choose the best offer”

yeah, right.

Why did he pass through waivers?

I don’t understand how waivers work I guess. Could these teams not have brought him in for workouts prior to claiming him off the waiver?

Wondering if the Chiefs have a workout planned for him…. Homerism ;)

Not sure on bringing them in for a workout

But every team (in draft order) have a shot at him.

Has something to do with contract pay structure for drafted rookies...

If he passes through waivers he falls back ot the same pay structures of undrafted rookies(from what I read when he was released). Also I’m not sure if you are allowed to bring a waiver player in for a workout prior to him clearing but thats based on very vague recollection of the rule so dont hold me to it.

On a brighter note...

He might be worth taking a look at because he came with a scouting report that gave a positive spin on him being able to transition to OLB in a 3-4 and at this point we probably need to look at as many players as possible there.

Allen started 33 of 41 games during his career at Idaho State University. The three-time All-Big Sky Conference selection finished his career with 250 tackles, 38.5 sacks, 73 stops for losses, seven fumble recoveries, three touchdowns, 13 forced fumbles, three interceptions, 26 pass deflections, and one blocked kick.
As a freshman in, 2000, Allen was originally slated to redshirt the season, but proved to be too good to sit for the year eventually played in eight games for the Bengals, and without any starts, he earned Honorable Mention All-Big Sky honors. In 2001 Allen earned First-team All-Big Sky honors and led the Bengals with 16 tackles for loss and he also registered 6.5 sacks. As a junior in, 2002, Allen was named Second-team Division 1-AA All-American by the Associated Press and was also named First-team All-Big Sky for the second consecutive season, he led the team in sacks, tackles for loss with 18, and he led all Bengal lineman with 63 tackles.
In 2003, as a senior, Allen was the Buck Buchanan Award winner, recording 17.5 sacks, 102 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, six forced fumbles, three recovered fumbles, and nine pass deflections during 2003, ranking among the Big Sky Conference leaders in several defensive categories. Allen, a First-team Division 1-AA All-America choice and First-team All-Big Sky for the third straight season, led ISU to an 8-4 record this season, helping the school post its first back-to-back eight win seasons in school history. Idaho State finished the regular season ranked No. 21 in the nation.

Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.
