Allen signed with the Jets on Tuesday.
Allen spent the entirety of the 2015 season recovering from a torn Achilles he suffered during training camp and signed with the Texans last March before being released during final roster cuts. However, it didn't take long for Allen to get scooped up by his old squad. He spent three healthy seasons of his career with the Jets, starting 18 of the 38 games he appeared in, but returns to New York firmly entrenched behind Marcus Gilchrist on the free safety depth chart.
