I heard on the Sportscast last night that the Cowboys have put Allen on the trading block. I also heard a few days back that the Cowboys encouraged Allen not to show up for workouts or mini-camps.

IRVING - One disgruntled Cowboy is gone and another appears to be back in the fold.

On the same day the Cowboys released running back Troy Hambrick, guard Larry Allen was working out at the team's Valley Ranch headquarters.

According to several sources, Allen has been working out at the team's facility since having separate meetings with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and coach Bill Parcells last week.

Allen's workouts have primarily been with strength coach Joe Juraszek. But they are significant because he was initially not invited to work out in the team's "voluntary" off-season program because of his combative relationship with Parcells.

Even though Allen earned an eighth Pro Bowl berth in 2003, he struggled with injuries and conditioning throughout the season.

After unsuccessfully trying to trade Allen during last month's NFL Draft, Parcells said he would welcome the 10-year veteran back if he returned in shape and made significant changes.

Allen's agent, Marvin Demoff, didn't return phone messages on Thursday but said two weeks ago his client was in the best shape he's been in in two years, and that conditioning wouldn't be a problem.

Parcell was unavailable for comment Thursday.

Although Jones didn't comment on Allen, he has said that he expected him to participate in the team's mandatory minicamp set for June 5-7.
