What happened: Allen made the remarks during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. The discussion came two days after he signed a one-year deal worth up to $8.32 million.

Why it matters: Joining a new roster late in preseason leaves little time to establish roles and timing. The one-year term gives both sides a short window to turn that fit into results.

What to watch: Watch how quickly Allen earns a role before the 2026 regular season.
