With what looks to be a year where there will be little if any off season team practices, not sure letting a guy with a year already in the system go is a good idea.

Not sure what Detroit paid him, but it probably was less than what Funchess signed for.
Gutey wasn't going to keep him over his draft picks, so it was probably pretty much a numbers game.
Shame he had that injury in 2018, he looked to be on the verge of breaking out.
Never was the same last year.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I was never a big Allison fan, but the drops/fumbles last year were the final nail in the coffin imo. His major asset was his familiarity as a reliable target for Rodgers.

Come to think of it, Muckster, that reminds me of your mom's career . . .
