The Rams released Allen in late February. 

The 28-year-old was the Rams' fourth-round pick in 2018 and spent his first six seasons in Los Angeles. He started in 32 of his 50 regular season games and missed the entire 2020 season due to injury. 

In the Super Bowl season, he started in 16 of 17 games and every postseason game. After the Super Bowl year, L.A. signed him to a three-year extension, but that contract quickly turned on them. In 2022, Allen dealt with knee and thumb injuries that kept him out for most of the year. Because of this, he ultimately lost his spot to Coleman Shelton in 2023.

The Rams will have Steve Avila, their rookie sensation and 2023 second-round pick, handle the center position moving forward. Avila will move from guard to center.
