Roster move: Cowboys cut Larry Allen Jr. and add a linebacker

One of the more fun storylines this offseason for the Cowboys was the addition of an offensive lineman that had a name all fans recognized... Larry Allen Jr..

Allen is obviously the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Larry Allen. Hopes were high that he could potentially have a career like his father did for America’s Team, but those dreams ended on Wednesday when the Cowboys released him in order to make room for linebacker Justin Phillips.

Dallas is already down a linebacker early on in training camp as Sean Lee is dealing with a tweaked knee.
