always been a good, reliable TE

I've always liked him too. He's been consistently good (not great...) his whole career. Well-rounded TE. Durable (has missed a grand total of 4 games in his career). Has a catch rate of 72% since 2018.

Extending him now doesn't prevent them from investing in the position going forward. And Allen has clear potential.

I'm OK with them extending him through age 32. Could become the first ever Rams' TE with 400+ catches.
