The team is seemingly choosing to roll with rookie punter Jake Bailey, who the team drafted in the 5th round of this year's draft. Bailey has wow'd everyone during camp and the preseason with his ability to punish the ball and keep it in the air for five-plus seconds, something that few, if any punters in the NFL can do. 

Allen was on the team for six seasons and won three Super Bowls with New England.
