Cincinnati Bengals safety Ricardo Allen was a long-time starter for the Atlanta Falcons. After being drafted in the fifth round, Allen ended up starting 76 games for Atlanta across six seasons. With 77 games across his career, Allen started in every game except one for the Falcons.
After coming off perhaps his two worst seasons in his career, the Falcons cut Allen. The Bengals acquired the veteran safety, signing him to a one-year deal worth roughly $1.
