Tennessee Titans sign QB Brandon Allen to one-year deal

The Tennessee Titans have signed veteran quarterback Brandon Allen to a one-year contract, bolstering their quarterback room alongside Will Levis. Allen, who spent the last two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, is familiar with the team's offensive system due to his previous experience with head coach Brian Callahan at the Cincinnati Bengals. The addition of Allen, a journeyman quarterback, serves as a strategic move to provide mentorship while keeping options open for the upcoming NFL Draft, where the Titans hold the No. 1 overall pick, potentially targeting Miami quarterback Cam Ward. Allen's role is expected to be supportive, as he is not anticipated to compete for the starting position, which will likely be filled by Levis or a draft selection. The signing comes after the Titans lost last season's backup quarterback, Mason Rudolph, who re-signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Overall, this move enhances the team's depth and competition at the quarterback position ahead of the draft.
