The Detroit Lions have secured the services of veteran quarterback Kyle Allen as they look to bolster their quarterback depth. Allen, 29, joins the Lions after spending last season as a backup in Pittsburgh, following a stint backing up Josh Allen in Buffalo. Head Coach Dan Campbell has praised Hendon Hooker, marking him as the primary backup behind Jared Goff, but with the addition of Allen, competition intensifies in the Lions' quarterback room. Previously, the Lions struggled without a solid third quarterback option, relying on Jake Fromm and Teddy Bridgewater during the 2024 season. This move signals the Lions' commitment to building a robust roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
