Chiefs’ Allen will miss first four games of season

Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen will be suspended for the first four games of the 2007 season for a violation of the NFL’s substance-abuse policy.

Allen received word of the suspension from the league office today.

“I’m sorry my actions of last year will affect my teammates, coaches and fans,” Allen said. “I have definitely learned from my mistakes and am glad to finally put this entire thing behind me once and for all. I will be with the Chiefs this year and will do everything I can to help bring a championship back to the great fans of KC.”

Allen, 25, has been charged twice in the last year with driving under the influence of alcohol in the Kansas City area. He entered a diversion program in connection with the first charge and recently pleaded no contest to the second.

This is the same guy that is ticked because the Chiefs won't sign him to a long term deal. I hear the Chiefs have or are going to pull the tender offered to him, so that will make him an unrestricted free agent. He is a decent player but a team can't continue to tolerate his off field behavior.
A correction to the players name...
It is Jared Allen.

Oh no he Di Ent!

...sorry, had to throw that in there. Thank goodness it wasn't an olinemen that suspended from the Chiefs or Larry Johnson would have fainted.
