On Monday, the New York Giants signed a 33-year-old former San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams quarterback to compete with the organization’s 2025 first-round pick, Jaxson Dart. “The New York Giants have signed quarterback Brandon Allen,” the franchise announced. “Allen, 6-foot-2 and 209 pounds, was originally a sixth-round selection (No.
201 overall) by Jacksonville in 2016. ” “He has appeared in 19 games with 10 starts in his career and has spent time with the Jaguars (2016-17), Rams (2017-19), Broncos (2019-20), Bengals (2020-23), 49ers (2023-25), and Titans (2025). ” “He has completed 183 of 323 passes (56.
7 percent) for 1,882 yards with 11 touchdowns to nine interceptions. ” Considering Allen has never entered a season as an organization’s No. 1 QB, it’s safe to assume things won’t be any different in 2026-27.
