Who Should I Start? Brandon Allen or Kyle Allen

Free-agent quarterback Brandon Allen is signing a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Allen was originally a sixth-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016 out of Arkansas and has spent time with five NFL organizations. Overall, the 32-year-old has completed just under 57% of his passing attempts for 1,810 yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 18 career games (one start). He'll now join Will Levis in Tennessee's quarterback room, and the Titans seem to be signaling that they are leaning toward picking a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It would not be a surprise if Levis is dealt for a late-round pick, and Tennessee selects Miami quarterback Cam Ward next month.

The Detroit Lions agreed to terms with veteran free-agent quarterback Kyle Allen on Thursday on an undisclosed deal, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Allen will head back to the NFC after spending the 2024 campaign as the No. 3 signal-caller for the Pittsburgh Steelers behind both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. The 29-year-old will now join a Lions quarterback room that already includes starter Jared Goff, Hendon Hooker and Jake Fromm. Allen will likely be competing with Hooker for the No. 2 role in training camp this summer. The former undrafted free agent is now on his sixth different team as he heads into his eighth NFL season. Allen began his career in 2018 with the Carolina Panthers and has completed 62.7% of his 705 career attempts for 4,753 yards, 26 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.
