<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>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, 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.</div><div align="center">Source</div>Love the signing. We were in desperate need for a real number one corner ever since we cut Madison. This pretty much sures up the CB position now. Now if we could just sign LaVar Arrington or Julian Peterson we'll be in real good shape.
I am a Bears fan and they had some 17million in cap space and wanted Will Allen and Brian Williams, but nope. This is a good signing, a good price for talent and not much guranteed money. Dolphins prob win that division next year if they get a one year wonder QB.
You think Will Allen is a #1 corner? He stunk for the Giants. The only reason the Giants had him playing was because they needed bodies after Peterson got hurt. The guy is no better than a #3 corner.
Ok, I may have been exaggerating a little, but he's a still better than a number 3. There's not many good corners out there these days and for the price we got him at, I think it was good signing.
$3 million a year is the most I would pay for him. He's very quick and a nice athlete but he's small and isn't a very fundamentally sound cornerback.
