The Dolphins, looking for a replacement for soon-to-be-released safety Isa Abdul Quddus, are bringing a former Philadelphia Eagles standout to team headquarters on Friday.
Nate Allen, who started 69 games for the Eagles over the first five years of his career, plans to visit with Dolphins officials on Friday, according to a league source.
Allen, 29, played the last two seasons with the Oakland Raiders.
Drafted 37th overall out of South Florida in 2010, Allen had 10 interceptions in five years as an Eagles starter.
He parlayed his very good 2014 season (which included four interceptions and three fumble recoveries) into a four-year, $23 million contract with the Oakland Raiders during the 2015 offseason.
