Despite his inability to secure a trade partner, many teams are expected to show interest in the 30-year-old defender. Allen has recorded 10 or more tackles for loss in a season four times and 5.5 sacks or more five times. A left pectoral injury limited him to eight games last season, yet he produced seven quarterback hits and three sacks. With still plenty left to offer, here are five teams that could land the talented defensive tackle.
