Cowboys agreed to terms with S Will Allen, formerly of the Steelers.

The Cowboys have their veteran safety, and it isn't Michael Huff. Allen, who started seven games a year ago while filling in for an injured Troy Polamalu, will at least push Matt Johnson for the starting free safety job. Johnson missed his entire rookie year due to hamstring injuries while Allen has 130 games of NFL experience. Mar 27 - 11:06 AM

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Steelers SS Will Allen will continue to fill in for Troy Polamalu (calf).

When Polamalu first went down, the Steelers started Ryan Mundy. That didn't work out, so they turned to the veteran special teamer Allen. He's responded as a run-stuffer, recording 22 tackles in the last four games.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Steelers S Will Allen (knee) and DE Aaron Smith (triceps) are listed as questionable for Super Bowl XLV.

Smith is a long shot to suit up, but Allen fully intends to be on the field against the Packers. Said Allen, "I'm playing. No way I'll miss my first Super Bowl." The backup safety is a core special teamer for the Steelers.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Steelers special teamer Will Allen injured his knee in the second half of Saturday's win over the Ravens and admitted he may miss the AFC Championship Game.

Allen was unable to return to Saturday's game after going down. It's a concern as the backup safety is one of Pittsburgh's top special teamers.

Steelers S Will Allen (concussion) has been cleared to resume practicing.

Primarily a special teamer this season, Allen missed the Raiders game after sustaining the concussion in Week 10.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Steelers S Will Allen sustained a concussion Monday night.

Allen has been a special teamer and reserve safety in his first season with the Steelers. He'll have to pass his neurological exams to play this week.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Steelers signed S Will Allen to a three-year, $4.4 million contract. The deal includes a $975,000 signing bonus.

A special teams alternate for the 2009 Pro Bowl, Allen proved a below average free safety in Tampa Bay before losing his job to Tanard Jackson in 2008. Ideally, he'll be no more than a third safety/special teamer for the Steelers. The team is likely to invest multiple draft picks on defensive backs.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Steelers will sign free agent S Will Allen to a three-year contract on Monday.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was the Bucs' secondary coach when Tampa Bay selected Allen in the 2004 fourth round. Pittsburgh shouldn't be done adding competition to its free safety position after this addition. Allen is a replacement level player, and a clear downgrade from Ryan Clark.

Free agent S Will Allen is meeting with the Steelers today.

Allen would help the Steelers' wretched special teams while also giving them depth at safety with Ryan Clark testing the market.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Bucs placed S Will Allen (thumb) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Allen played safety while Tanard Jackson was suspended this season, but he is primarily a special teamer. He'll be a free agent after the season and finishes the year with 20 tackles. Corey Lynch is expected to fill Allen's role.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Bucs backup S Will Allen will need surgery on his broken right thumb and is out indefinitely.

Allen was a special teamer and the Bucs' third safety, a role that will now be filled by "Hard Knocks" hero Corey Lynch. Allen is a candidate for injured reserve.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Bucs backup S Will Allen appears to have broken his right thumb in the Week 9 win over the Packers.

X-rays revealed a crack, but it's not yet known if Allen will need surgery. Allen provides depth behind starter Tanard Jackson and is a special teamer.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Bucs special teamer Will Allen will step in for the suspended Tanard Jackson at free safety.

Allen lost his job when Jackson was drafted in 2007. He'll likely struggle during the four games Jackson is watching. As a contingency plan, the Bucs are trying Jermaine Phillips, a full-time linebacker, out at safety - a position he used to play.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Buccaneers re-signed S Will Allen to a one-year, $1.83 million contract.

The veteran backup could make up to $2.35 million through incentives. Allen will be insurance behind SS Sabby Piscitelli and FS Tanard Jackson with Jermaine Phillips likely to sign elsewhere in free agency.

Will Allen - DB - Cowboys

Safeties Will Allen and Jermaine Phillips were reportedly among the best players at Bucs training camp.

They had to be, and will continue to have to be during the season to hold off rookies Tanard Jackson and Sabby Piscitelli. Allen was especially disappointing in 2006, but will be starting at free safety to begin the season.

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Tony Romo Sidelined NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Tony Romo (back surgery) "probably" won't be ready for minicamp. Romo said earlier Tuesday he was optimistic he'd be ready for June's minicamp, but Rapoport reports the Cowboys are "fine bringing Romo back slowly." They have no reason to rush their franchise signal caller, who should be ready well before training camp. May 21
	2	Kyle Orton
	3	Nick Stephens
	4	Dalton Williams
RB	1	DeMarco Murray
	2	Joseph Randle Sidelined Cowboys signed fifth-round RB Joseph Randle to a four-year contract. The Cowboys have very high hopes for Randle, despite the fact that he'll miss all pre-training camp activities due to offseason thumb surgery. An adept pass catcher, Randle does little else well. On tape, it was evident his production was spiked by Oklahoma State's wide-open offense in the defense-deficient Big 12. May 13

	5	Kendial Lawrence
GLB	1	DeMarco Murray

FB	1	Lawrence Vickers Sidelined Cowboys FB Lawrence Vickers underwent back surgery Friday. "It won't keep him out of training camp, but will limit him during (offseason) training," owner/GM Jerry Jones said. With a $1.2 million base salary, Vickers is squarely on the roster bubble. Apr 27
WR1	1	Dez Bryant Sidelined Dez Bryant says he's "found (himself)," and is "comfortable" with his life. "I wish it could've been a couple years back, but I had to go through a couple of things to figure it out," Bryant said of his past troubles. "I think I got it and I'm just more focused on my job and doing what I love to do and that's playing football." The light bulb went off for Bryant on the field last season, and is now doing so off of it. A rare talent, we don't doubt that Bryant can top his 92/1,382/12 2012. May 21
	2	Terrance Williams
	3	Cole Beasley
	4	Anthony Armstrong
	5	Carlton Mitchell
WR2	1	Miles Austin Sidelined Miles Austin said he is focusing on strengthening his hamstrings this offseason. Austin played in all 16 games last season, but was consistently bothered by hip and hamstring issues. In 2011, he missed six games with a severe pull. "I'm definitely strengthening my hamstrings a lot more than I have been," said Austin. "Doing a different routine, a couple of extra exercises each day on our leg days." May 9
	2	Dwayne Harris
	3	Danny Coale Sidelined Cowboys WR Danny Coale (knee) is practicing at OTAs Tuesday. Coale tore his ACL in November, and it's unlikely that he's going through practice full-speed. It's still good news for the 2012 fifth-round pick because just 11 days ago he had yet to be medically cleared. After spending last season on the practice squad, Coale faces an uphill battle for a roster spot. May 21
	4	Tim Benford Sidelined Cowboys WR Tim Benford underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Benford will miss the rest of rookie minicamp and OTAs before returning for training camp. The former Tennessee Tech receiver spent the entire 2012 season on the practice squad, and he'll face an uphill battle for a roster spot. May 11
