The veteran has found a new club."One week ago today White John Hannah Jerseys , the New England Patriots parted ways with tight end Dwayne Allen. Allen, who spent the 2017 and 2018 seasons in New England after he was acquired via trade from the Indianapolis Colts, was scheduled to hit the team’s salary cap with $7.3 million in 2019 — a number apparently too high for the world champions’ liking given his actual contributions: he was primarily a blocker during his tenure with the Patriots.Despite his rather one-dimensional role, however, the veteran tight end quickly generated interest on the open market with the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins all expressing interest in him — all while a return to New England on a reduced salary was reportedly also not yet off the table. However, the reunion will not happen as one of the four clubs added the 29-year old to its roster.The Dolphins signed Allen to a two-year, $7.0 million contract earlier today John Hannah Jerseys 2019 , according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Seeing Miami pick the veteran tight end up does not come as a surprise, considering that the club’s new head coach and offensive coordinator — Brian Flores and Chad O’Shea, respectively — both came over from the Patriots this offseason and will likely be in play on a lot of New England’s free agents.With Allen definitively gone, the Patriots are expected to invest in a tight end during the upcoming days and the draft next month. While second-year man Ryan Izzo might be able to fill the blocking role once held by Allen, New England will likely bring in some competition — maybe even in the form of ex-Patriot Martellus Bennett, whose brother Michael Bennett was acquired by the team via trade yesterday.Allen, meanwhile, ends his tenure in New England with a Super Bowl ring as well as 35 in-game appearances. As noted above, he served primarily as a blocker and thus finished his career with the team with a rather pedestrian stat-line of 13 catches for 113 yards and one touchdown. That being said White Irving Fryar Jerseys , his contributions were still valuable — just not at the cost he was scheduled to create in 2019. EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)The New York Giants have decided to give Aldrick Rosas some competition for the placekicking job. The Giants signed 13-year veteran Mike Nugent on Tuesday in a move to up the pressure on the 22-year-old Rosas, who has never kicked in a regular-season NFL game. ”I’ve always wanted to play 20 years,” said Nugent, who spent the past seven seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. ”I’m going to see what I can do, make sure I stay in shape and try to keep up with the younger guys and to get to a point where the ball is going where I’m aiming it, and keep at it.” Nugent, who has been working out in Arizona, said the Giants called him recently. Rosas had been the only placekicker on the roster for the offseason. He got all the work in organized team activities and the minicamp. After practice Irving Fryar Jerseys 2019 , coach Ben McAdoo said the team just wanted him to face some competition. Nugent, who was released by the Bengals in December after missing six field goals and six extra points, thinks he can still do the job. ”I’m really excited to get out there and just do my thing and apply what I’ve learned over the years,” he said. ”At the end of the day, it’s kind of like a golf tournament: it’s not so much about how everyone else does, it’s about how you do.” This will be a return to the area for Nugent, who was draft by the Jets. He made 23 of 29 on both his field goal and extra point attempts last season. Rosas’ only attempt NFL field goal came in a preseason game with Tennessee last summer. It was good. Rosas was not surprised the Giants added another kicker, adding all he intends to do is to keep working on his own game. ”Every day I came out here trying to compete with the open spots around the league,” Rosas said. ”Having Mike out here White James White Jerseys , there is an extra guy I can talk to, that I can look at and emulate what he is doing, or things I can pick up.” Josh Brown and Robbie Gould kicked for the Giants last season, with Gould taking over after Brown was released because of domestic violence problems. Gould signed with the San Francisco 49ers as a free agent in the offseason. Nugent also has played for the Jets, Tampa Bay and Arizona. He has made 236 of 292 field goal attempts and 344 of 355 extra points, scoring more than 100 points in a season six times. NOTES: This was the Giants’ first day in pads and linebacker B.J.
