Who Should I Start? Kyle Allen or Jordan Travis

Thursday, March 13, 9:42 PM

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.

New York Jets quarterback Jordan Travis (ankle) has experienced some setbacks and is not expected to be activated from the non-football injury list before the end of the 2024 NFL season, interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday. Travis suffered the injury while competing at Florida State University last season, and he was placed on the NFI list near the end of training camp. Ulbrich noted that he checks in with Travis daily, and even though his recovery isn't going as expected, the Jets' coach loves the young quarterback's work ethic and believes he can still be an impact player. Fantasy managers will likely have to wait until next year before getting a glimpse of Travis in a Jets uniform. In the meantime, New York's quarterback room will continue to feature veterans Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor.
