The Miami Dolphins were forced to go searching for a starting free safety this offseason after last year’s (potentially career threatening) neck injury to Isa Abdul-Quddus. The team seems to have found that safety in free agent signing Nate Allen, who comes to the Dolphins after two seasons with the Oakland Raiders.
Allen was originally a second-round selection of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010, playing both free- and strong-safety for five seasons before leaving in free agency to join the Raiders. However, injuries sidelined him for much of his first year in Oakland, then he played behind Karl Joseph last year.
