The Buccaneers famously poached Tom Brady from New England, and now the Patriots are striking back… kind of. SiriusXM’s Adam Caplan reports (via Twitter) that the Patriots are signing defensive tackle Beau Allen. It’s a two-year deal worth $8MM.
The 2014 seventh-rounder spent the first four seasons of his career with the Eagles, and he compiled a pair of tackles in Philly’s Super Bowl victory over (you guessed it) the Patriots.
He joined Tampa Bay prior to the 2018 campaign, and he started eight of his 14 games that season, finishing with 20 tackles. After reworking his contract last offseason to remove the third year from his deal, Allen took on a lesser role. He finished the season with 10 tackles and 0.5 sacks in 13 games.
PAYBACK!!!
Tampa fans must be heartbroken
Wow, the Pats “poached” a real hot commodity here…10 whole tackles all year long in 13 games…..real game changer….seems fair losing Brady and getting this guy!
Come on Ben….Really?
I starting to wonder If there would be anyone left on the patriots roster by the end of free agency
Ben was joking Rocky, really?
Don’t go by the 10 tackles as it said he had a reduced role. Belichick is the best at getting the most out of players. He was a solid player on the Eagles for 4 years. More of a rotation guy.
Patriots should sign Perriman
