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.
