Just prior to the start of the 2014 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed cornerback Cortez Allen to a four-year extension worth $24.6 million. It was certainly a big gamble being as the former fourth-round draft pick out of the Citadel had only started 11 regular-season games in his first three years in the league. That gamble has now seemingly crapped-out as Allen, for a second year in a row, has found himself on the team’s injured reserve list. Sadly, he’s only started 7 games over the course of the last two seasons and many of his nearly 500 snaps played during that span weren’t fun to watch.
