While there haven been any news regarding a potential deal since then, Allen may have fired a hot last nigh that helps him get out of Minnesota:
"This is what happens when the opposing offense scores on every drive. The defense gets frustrated, and by the fourth quarter, Vikings defensive end Jared Allen finally verbalized what everybody else was thinking: “I’ve never played on a defense this bad in my life.” At least that’s what he appears to be saying. There was no audio so you’ll have to judge for yourself:"
That certainly won’t help him stay in Minnesota.
If you listen to ESPN’s Skip Bayless (hopefully, none of you do), he does make a good point on how the New England Patriots should make a move for Allen:
Instead of trading for a star receiver who'd be tough to blend in to a complex offense, prefer Pats go after Jared Allen for decimated D.
