Either way, Allen does not figure to return

Written by undisclosed@pressdemocrat.com (49ers)
But the 49ers are moving forward in '08 without Allen. Coach Mike Nolan intimated several weeks ago that he did not expect Allen to return. At this point, even if Allen wants to come back it seems that it would not be the wise thing for the 49ers to re-sign him.
