ALLEN REJOINING THE COWBOYS?

Kevin Lynch of SFgate.com reports that veteran offensive lineman Larry Allen will sign a contract with the Cowboys.

It’s unclear whether Allen intends to actually play, or whether it will be a ceremonial one-day retirement deal.

His page on NFL.com actually shows him as an active player, and as a member of the Cowboys.

Allen spent 12 years in Dallas and the past two with the 49ers.

Reported in the SF Chronicle as well

ALLEN TO COWBOYS?: I just got an e-mail to from a league source saying that former 49ers guard Larry Allen is about to sign in Dallas. Interesting.

Another NFL source said he might be signing just to retire as a Cowboy.
