Who Should I Start? Kyle Allen or Quinn Ewers

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.

The Miami Dolphins have officially signed former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers to his four-year rookie contract, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Ewers notably slid to the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft after some analysts projected him to be selected as early as the third or fourth round. After redshirting at Ohio State in 2021, Ewers threw for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 24 interceptions in 36 games over three seasons with the Longhorns. He led the program to two consecutive College Football Playoff semifinal appearances. Now in Miami, he'll have the opportunity to compete with former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson for the QB2 role behind Tua Tagovailoa. Given Tagovailoa's injury history as of late, one of his backups could be called into action during the 2025 campaign. Wilson should be viewed as the front-runner to win that job.
