Allen also showed his excitement about the new deal:
The average of $18 million per year will rank fourth among defensive tackles in the NFL, per Spotrac. The $30 million guaranteed at signing ranks sixth at the position.
Allen was a first-round pick in the 2017 draft and has started every game he has played during his four years in the league.
