Commanders released Allen before the free agency in a cost reduction decision, and he immediately won a three -year agreement with the Vikings du Minnesota.
Allen said that Dan Quinn’s new culture “was the most difficult part to leave” the team. Allen was released by the new administration after eight seasons in Washington and 109 games, from 108.
“There is nothing worse than going to work and being with the guys who are only there to perceive a pay check, only there for their own personal numbers. There is nothing wrong with wanting it. But I don’t think you have to choose to win in there.”
Allen said to a long time that he was planning to spend his entire career in the NFL with Washington. There is certainly no reason to doubt Allen about this. After all, it has often been heard that he grew up in northern Virginia, the Ashburn region, and rooted for the team. The former defensive tackle of Alabama Crimson Tide was selected by the Redskins 17th in the general classification of the NFL 2017 NFL.

Allen immediately liked the way the staff and the property of the Vikings “treat their players and their families; it is simply incredible”.
However, Long asked that Allen on Allen having played in losing teams for seven seasons. Washington obtains a new owner, a new Managing Director, a new head coach and a new Recruit quarter, and finally gathered his act. And now you have to go? “” Yeah, that’s for sure. I always thought that I was going to end my career in Washington. “”
Allen looked like his old self, always learning to see the positive side in the cards that have been treated in life. “In a perfect world, I would probably have finished my career there (Washington). But God has other plans for me. I always remember that the Saban coach said:” On the other side of something that is difficult, uncomfortable, difficult, is generally something that you have looked for. “”
“So, it’s an opportunity for me to grow. I don’t think I could have found a better organization and a better team to come … it’s probably the dream situation.”
