Former Eagles fan-favorite defensive tackle Beau Allen will find himself looking for a new home for the 2018 season as a free agent after the team was reported to sign free agent Haloti Ngata on Tuesday.

Allen took to Instagram to thank the Eagles fans and City of Philadelphia for supporting him during his four-season tenure.

 

It's crazy to think I got to Philadelphia 4 years ago. Thank you to the entire Eagles organization for giving me a shot. Thank you to the coaches and staff that have helped mold me into the player and person I am today. Huge shout out to the city and the fans! Thank you for embracing me and showing this dude from the Midwest what it means to be from Philly! I put a lot of sweat and blood into the game of football during my time in Philadelphia and was rewarded with a Super Bowl Championship and memories that will last a lifetime. I can't say enough about the teammates and brothers I've shared this experience with, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! Philadelphia will always hold a special place in my heart and I will always share a special bond with my brothers that brought the Lombardi to Philly. Excited to see what the future has for me!

The University of Wisconsin product had a sack and 13 tackles for the Eagles in 2017. He made a tackle in the Eagles' Super Bowl LII win over the New England Patriots.

Beau Allen is the final pin to fall from the Eagles' 2014 draft class. Marcus Smith, Jordan Matthews, Josh Huff, Jaylen Watkins, Taylor Hart, and Ed Reynolds all left the team previously.
