The San Francisco 49ers have signed Brandon Allen as the NFC West franchise add another quarterback to their growing options under center for 2023.
On Wednesday, veteran quarterback Allen put pen-to-paper in Santa Clara, ending his three-year run as the backup to Joe Burrow on the Cincinnati Bengals becoming the fourth signal-caller on the books. Selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the sixth-round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Allen has become something of a journeyman after spending time with the Los Angeles Rams, Denver Broncos and Bengals.
He made three starts with the Broncos in 2019 while he started just six games over three seasons in Cincinnati. Allen has now signed with the 49ers where he joins Brock Purdy, Trey Lance and Sam Darnold in a crowded QB room that poses plenty of questions.
