Buccaneers not signing Jared Allen

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will not be signing defensive end Jared Allen this offseason, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times (via Gil Arcia). The Bucs are reportedly "not an option" for Jared Allen, tho the team have made finding a pass-rushing force at defensive end a priority. An earlier report linked the Bucs to Michael Johnson, instead.
