Although free agency officially opens at 4:00 p.m. today, it has not stopped players from picking where they will play next.
Among those picking their new home is former Eagles' defensive tackle Beau Allen. According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times Allen will be wearing red and pewter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

Allen was a part of the Eagles roatation at defensive tackle the last few seasons, and specialized against the run. Allen wrote a message to say goodbye to Philadelphia yesterday.
Allen is expected to push for a starting opportunity in Tampa Bay, something he was not going to be able to do in Philadelphia. Allen was a seventh round selection by the Eagles in 2014.
