2022 Free Agents Analysis: ILB Marcus Allen – Restricted
Player: Marcus Allen
Position: Inside Linebacker
Experience: 3 Years
Free Agent Status: Restricted
2021 Salary Cap Hit: $850,000
2021 Season Breakdown:
There was a time that the Steelers so highly regarded Marcus Allen coming out of Penn State that they considered him an absolute steal in the fifth round, a player they would have drafted at least in the fourth round had they had a fourth-round pick that year.
Maybe they would have even taken him earlier had they not already signed Morgan Burnett and Nat Berhe in free agency and drafted Terrell Edmunds in the first round. Of course, those free agents only lasted one year, and Allen is now playing linebacker.
