JetNation Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 By Glenn Naughton It’s been a rough 24 hours for New York Jets safety Antonio Allen as the team announced today that they have waived the veteran safety following what’s believed to be a torn Achilles that he suffered at the end of yesterdays practice session. Allen, who played both cornerback and safety for the Jets last season had an opportunity to be one of the more versatile players in Todd Bolwes’ defense but now he finds himself having been replaced by cornerback Keon Lyn per Jets senior reporter Eric Allen. We have signed CB Keon Lyn and waived/injured S Antonio Allen: READ- http://t.co/ClFjDjIPnh — New York Jets (@nyjets) August 7, 2015 View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetFreak89 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 why not IR Allen? I think he has to clear waivers first, then can be put on IR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The Jets placed Allen on the waived/injured list. Once he clears waivers, and he should, they can put him on injured reserve. They signed cornerback Keon Lyn to take his roster spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raideraholic Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 This a real shame. I could see if Antonio Allen was under contract for the Jets a couple more years.( IR him and count on him in 2016). Antonio Allen is an unrestricted Fa after this season, and could be playing anywhere in 2016. ( Might be up in Buffalo) So what exactly is the point to Ir him.

Jets DB Antonio Allen Reverts To Injured Reserve After Clearing Waivers 1 day ago Jets, NFL Transactions Leave a comment 105 Views The New York Jets officially placed DB Antonio Allen on season-ending injured reserve after he cleared on waivers on Saturday. Allen, unfortunately, suffered a season-ending Achilles injury and was subsequently waived/injured on Friday. New York signed CB Keon Lyn to their active roster for the time being. Allen, 26, is a former seventh-round pick of the Jets back in 2012. He has one year remaining on his four-year, $2.1 million rookie contract and stands to make a base salary of $1.542 million for the 2015 season. In 2014, Allen appeared in 15 games for the Jets and recorded 41 tackles, a half sack, a forced fumble and six pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 63 cornerback out of 108 qualifying players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papz187 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 This really sucks, hope he's back next year....I had high hopes for Allen this year and he definitely brings value to the defense. Sent from my SM-N915T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcat Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Once again you have no idea what you're talking about. I think it is phenomenal that one poster could be so wrong 100% of the time. Not only on his statements about the Jets or other teams, but in his claims about the Raiders as well. The many years of this troll have proven one thing: that if he posts it, it's a slam dunk that it is incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIJetsFan Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Best wishes AA. It was nice following this 7th rounder as he climbed up to 63rd best of the 108 CBs rated by PFF. No doubt with all the new DB signings this year he was going to be at the very bottom of the depth chart. Jets fans love an underdog; he will be missed.

Raideraholic Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Once again you have no idea what you're talking about. Is Antonio Allen an unrestricted Fa after the 2015 season? Yes or No. yes he is, and can sign with any team he wants to come next year. The point was I could see a team putting him on Injured reserve if he was still under contract for 2016. I don't understand why a team would put a free agent after the season on that list. ( He can go where ever he wants to go- unless you see the Jets using franchise tag on a player coming off Achilles tear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You predicted the Raiduhs would draft defense in round 1 and you guaranteed it, saying anyone who believed otherwise was clueless .

It amazes me, all of us, how consistently wrong you are. If you pay someone the total of his contract and he gets hurt, why would you not IR him? Why not let him come in, use the facilities, Drs., rehab equip etc? If he' healthy at the end of the year, can be productive, why wouldn't want him back?

#27TheDominator Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I thought I already posted this, but I don't see why he wouldn't be an RFA. They could at least get a 7th back if they tender him. He will not play in 6 or more games in 2015, so he will still only have 3 accrued seasons. Therefore, I think he will be an RFA and eligible to tender.

My favorite all time prediction from Raiduhomerfan was his prediction that Jamarcus Russell would not only play well and be me a franchise QB but would be an elite, top 5 QB to give Brady and Manning a run for it going into the season he was cut.
