Allen, who has played with the Minnesota Vikings for the past six seasons, wants to latch on with a winner. The Vikings have missed the playoffs in three of the last four seasons.
“I think for my next team it will come down to a chance to win, a good organization, as well as getting a fair contract,” Allen told SiriusXM NFL Radio.
Allen could be a fit for the New England Patriots, who need a third pass rusher to rotate with Chandler Jones and Rob Ninkovich. Allen had 11.5 sacks in 2013 and 128.5 sacks in 10 seasons.
