Coach Andy Reid said the team's second-round draft pick from South Florida will remain the starting free safety - a position he earned during minicamps. But Allen didn't get much rest before his first day of camp. After missing the first day of training camp, Allen was unable to sign his contract - a four-year deal - until the final details were hammered ou |
