"I wish everything was rolling the way we would like for it, the way we envisioned it happening and we didn’t have to make some of these decisions," Smith said. "But things haven’t gone well and we need to get it better. So we need to make some moves like this to see if we can jump-start it."The 26-year-old Allen has not played this season, and his last appearance came on Dec. 26 of last season against Dallas while he was with Washington.
