It’s a short, sweet, and to the point message to Pittsburgh and Steelers’ Nation. His release was certainly never the intended goal when he signed a four year extension two years ago, and at the time, though a bit of a gamble, Allen was coming off a strong end to the 2013 season. Despite the issues with his technique, it was the unforeseen health problems with his knee that failed to make his time in Pittsburgh salvageable.
