| Santa Clara, CA (MySportsbook) - Veteran guard Larry Allen, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection who was the centerpiece of Dallas' offensive line for the last 12 seasons, has signed with the San Francisco 49ers.

Considered one of the top offensive linemen in recent NFL history, Allen was a member of Dallas' Super Bowl-winning team in 1995 and also helped the Cowboys to four NFC East Division crowns. With Allen's help, Emmitt Smith became the NFL's a |

Larry Allen, the Dallas Cowboys' 10-time Pro Bowl guard and perhaps the most dominant offensive lineman of his generation, agreed to a two-year contract with the 49ers on Friday. Though the 34-year-old has played 12 tough NFL seasons, the struggling 49ers believe they could use a big dose of Allen's famed nastiness. Allen, the massive last link to the Cowboys' most recent Super Bowl-winning team, was released Tuesday when he refused to take |

The deal includes a $5 million bonus and $5 million salary this season, but no added penalties should Owens pull any of the stunts that caused so many problems for his two previous teams, the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles. His relationship with the Eagles soured only months after he led them to the Super Bowl, leading to a bitter breakup that ended with his release Tuesday. ``It's more than his word, it's about logic,'' Jones said. ``T |
