The New England Patriots quickly bounced back from losing Danny Shelton on Wednesday.
New England signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Beau Allen on a two-year, $8 million deal. This came just hours after the Detroit Lions signed Shelton on a two-year, $8 million deal.
Allen’s 6-foot-3, 328 frame will allow him to slide seamlessly into Shelton’s role as a run stopper. He began his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles for four seasons and spent his last two years with Tampa Bay. Allen was on the Eagles’ roster when they took down the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.
