The Eagles unfortunately outbid the Texans for Brandon Brooks' services today, but Rick Smith swiftly responded by snatching up Jeff Allen from the Chiefs.
Take two on that deal for Texans OL Jeff Allen: four years, $28m, $14m in the first year. Misread a text. My bad on that.

Allen has been a solid contributor in Kansas City for the past few years, particularly as a run blocker in front of the Chiefs' stable of highly productive running backs.
