Former Titans QB Brandon Allen signs with Giants and Brian Callahan
TL;DR
The New York Giants have signed former Titans quarterback Brandon Allen, reuniting him with quarterback coach Brian Callahan. Allen, entering his 11th NFL season, previously backed up Joe Burrow with the Bengals and played one game for the Titans last season.
While most teams are busy putting the finishing touches on the pre-draft preparations, others are continuing to add in free agency.
On Monday, our colleagues at Giants Wire reported that the New York Giants have added former Tennessee Titans quarterback Brandon Allen to the roster, reuniting him with quarterback coach Brian Callahan.
Entering his 11th NFL season, Allen is a journeyman quarterback but is already familiar with the Callahan from his time with the Cincinnati Bengals and Titans. Allen was the primary backup to Joe Burrow with the Bengals for three seasons while Callahan was the offensive coordinator, and served a similar role in 2025, backing up Cam Ward.
In all, he saw action in one game for the Titans in the season finale after Ward injured his shoulder and finished by going 17-of-30 for 72 yards and one interception.
A sixth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2016 NFL draft, Allen has spent time with the Los Angeles Rams, Denver Broncos, Bengals, San Francisco 49ers, and Titans during his career. Over that span, he has completed 183 of 323 passes (56.7 percent) for 1,882 yards, 11 touchdowns, and nine interceptions.
The move gives the Giants three quarterbacks on the roster, and he will be competing with Jameis Winston during training camp to be the primary backup to entrenched starter Jaxson Dart.
