Allen, who is 6-foot-3 and 315 pounds, signed a three-year nonguaranteed contract as an undrafted free agent out of Harvard, where he earned a biomedical engineering degree.

After bringing in several linebackers for workouts, Dallas elected to re-sign undrafted free agent linebacker Justin Phillips. The move helps "Big D" generate depth at the linebacker position. Chris Covington is currently on the physically unable to perform list with a hamstring injury and Sean Lee is nursing a sprained knee.
