Dolphins reach deal with former Giants CB AllenBy John Clayton
ESPN.com


The Miami Dolphins continued their aggressive approach to upgrading their starting lineup by reaching a four-year, $12 million deal with Giants cornerback Will Allen. Included in the deal are guarantees of $5 million.

 
 Allen

Allen, 27, a five-year starter with the Giants, gives the Dolphins a corner who can also help on run support.


Allen picked the Dolphins over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The Seahawks made a competitive bid that in some ways had a better structure than the Dolphins' offer, but Allen decided to stay on the East Coast instead of moving west. The Kansas City Chiefs also had Allen in for visit.


A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Allen attended Syracuse University and has been on the East Coast all his life. The Giants selected him in the first round of the 2001 draft, 22nd overall.


The signing with the Dolphins was a little ironic because they cut Sam Madison to open the starting job Allen has a chance to earn. Madison ended up signing with the Giants and taking Allen's place on their roster.


The Dolphins also reached a $1.5 million a year agreement with Chargers tight end Justin Peelle. The length of the contract wasn't known.

His cover skills aren't all that.  Keep in mind that the Giants, who need secondary help bad, let this guy skate free.  I have family members who are Giants fans, and they've always been down on him. He's a guy that has a ton of talent but has never lived up to his potential. Hopefully, Saban can get the best out of him. He could be a decent nickel guy, but I can't see him starting over Poole and Daniels.

He's fast, but he has average ball skills and shitty tackling ability.

     With the signing of Allen, I'm still wondering whether we'll go after a corner in the first round.  Anyways, Allen certainly wasn't all that in New York, but maybe a change of scenery and a different system might be better for him.  Doesn't Coughlin run a 4-3 in New York?

No, Reggie Howard > Jamar Fletcher, but Will Allen = Reggie Howard, thus, Will Allen > Jamar Fletcher.

5 million for this guy.lol......... Why not pony up a little extra money and get Ty Law. Law had more picks last year than allen has in his career. IMO this isn't and upgrade over madison.

Agreed there.  I still see them going after a Huff or Williams in the first round.
