Steelers sign LB Marcus Allen to 1-year contract
Posted March 09, 2021 6:00 am
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Marcus Allen is staying in Pittsburgh. And staying at linebacker too.
The Steelers announced on Tuesday they have signed Allen to a one-year deal for the 2021 season. Allen had been an exclusive rights free agent.
The 24-year-old Allen played in 14 games in 2021 after being moved from safety to inside linebacker in the preseason because of depth issues at the position. The team called Allen a 'œlinebacker'ť when it announced the signing.
Allen, a fifth-round pick in the 2018 draft, made two starts last season and had a career-high with 30 tackles.
