Rams Release Center Brian Allen

Veteran Offensive Lineman Departs After Three-Year Extension

Los Angeles, CA (Mar. 14, 2022) - The Los Angeles Rams have released veteran center Brian Allen, the team announced Wednesday.

Allen, 26, signed a three-year extension with the Rams worth $24 million in March 2022. However, he struggled with knee and thumb injuries last season, which limited him to only seven games.

The Rams' decision to release Allen comes as part of a roster overhaul that is expected to continue in the coming weeks. The team is looking to create salary cap space and add younger, more affordable players.

Allen was a key part of the Rams' Super Bowl LVI victory in 2022, starting all 17 games at center. He is a versatile lineman who can also play guard. However, his injury struggles have made him expendable for the Rams.

Allen is now a free agent and will likely draw interest from several teams. He is a talented lineman with a lot of experience, but his injury history could make some teams hesitant to sign him.

The Rams are expected to make several more roster moves in the coming weeks as they prepare for the 2023 season.
