Al Harris signs with Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have signed veteran cornerback Al Harris and released cornerback Jason Allen, a former first-round pick.
The Dolphins signed Harris to a one-year deal, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Harris was waived by the Green Bay Packers on Monday. He cleared waivers on Tuesday and was free to sign with any team.
The 35-year-old Harris is nearly a year removed from his season-ending left knee injury last November. He began this season on the Packers' physically unable to perform list and returned to practice Oct. 19, giving the Packers a three-week timeline to decide his future.
Harris started all 102 games he played in for the Packers over seven seasons (2003-09) after being acquired from Philadelphia. He had 14 interceptions and 108 passes defensed during his time in Green Bay.
Allen, the 16th overall pick in 2006, has struggled to shake the label of draft bust. He won a starting job in training camp this season but was replaced last week by Sean Smith.
Allen started 19 games in his five seasons with Miami.
