Allen signed his restricted free agent tender with the Steelers on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Allen will thus remain in Pittsburgh for at least one more season after inking the contract tender extended to him by the team. Over the past two seasons, the 2018 fifth-round pick accumulated 43 tackles in 30 games while playing primarily on special teams, with 393 snaps coming in that phase during that span. The 25-year-old appeared on just 59 defensive snaps in 2021, and going forward should continue to slot in as a reserve behind starting inside linebackers Devin Bush and Myles Jack.
