Giants Sign Veteran Quarterback Brandon Allen

The addition signals New York's pivot to familiar, low-risk depth over a Russell Wilson reunion.

Overview

  • The Giants, who announced the signing Monday, added the 33-year-old on what multiple outlets report is a one-year deal.
  • Allen joins a room led by starter Jaxson Dart with Jameis Winston as the primary backup, putting him in a battle for QB3 or a practice-squad role.
  • The move reunites Allen with quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Brian Callahan, who coached him in Cincinnati and Tennessee.
  • The journeyman has played 19 games with 10 starts across seven teams, totaling 1,882 yards with 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
  • The signing further cools any chance of a Russell Wilson return as New York shores up depth ahead of the NFL Draft.
