Last Friday there was a whimper, and then a release, once Jeff Allen was removed from the roster. He and the Texans reached an injury settlement, so he was removed from the PUP list and released. With his departure, Houston saved $6.125 million this season and will have a dead money charge of $1.25 million this year and next. This move was expected, even if the timing was strange. This seemed like a no-brainer that should have occurred once the offseason began. Allen was quite simply one of the worst offensive linemen in team history.
