Who Should I Start? Brandon Allen or Tyson Bagent

Thursday, March 13, 2:42 PM

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.

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles said at the NFL scouting combine on Tuesday that the team has gotten calls on backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. The Arizona Cardinals are one team that is reportedly interested in acquiring Bagent from the Bears this offseason as they contemplate life without Kyler Murray (foot) going into the 2026 season. At best, the 25-year-old former undrafted free agent QB would be in the mix for a starting job for a team like the rebuilding Cardinals. In his first three seasons in the NFL with the Bears, Bagent has appeared in 12 regular-season games (four starts) and has gone 99-for-149 passing for 917 yards, three touchdowns, and six interceptions. Bagent signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Bears in August of last year, so he has one year left on his current deal.
