In the NFL you just have the bust.

MLB is where you go in as a member of a team, by having that logo on your hat.

I seem to remember his post-Saints years with the Raiders were better than his Saints years.

I mean, I remember him as a Raider as well only because 1998 was the year I really started getting into football and not just the bigger names. I remember him on the Saints but I was 10 years old his last season with us.

his last game in the NFL was the Tuck Rule game.

But going by Approximate Value on PFR...

Allen had a total of:
80 AV as an Eagle (11.4 per year) 5 Pro Bowls, 1 1st team AP, 2 2nd team AP
27 AV as a Saint (7.33 per year) 1 Pro Bowl
22 AV as a Raider (6.75 per year)

He did have 3 Pick sixes as a Raider (all 3 in 2000), 5 as an Eagle (4 in 1993), but 0 as a Saint

Ah, the stats don’t lie. Once again my memory fails. I do remember being pretty damned excited when the Saints picked him up. But his tenure coincided with dark days for the Saints.

He was pretty good with us. People forget he played with us.

Ashley Ambrose was another one that had a short tenure but was good.

Eric Allen wouldn’t be caught dead in a Saints uniform …..

when he can be inducted as an Eagle known for those ferocious defenses he played on… with Reggie White, Clyde Simmons and Jerome Brown !!!!
