Steelers | Kyle Allen contract update Mon Apr 1, 04:12 PM
Updating a previous report, free-agent QB Kyle Allen (Bills) signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Allen has largely bounced around the league as a backup since then and will battle for a backup spot on the Steelers' roster this season as the No. 3 quarterback behind a quarterback room that now also includes Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. |

Bills | Kyle Allen the frontrunner for backup duties? Thu Aug 10, 12:00 AM
Buffalo Bills QB Kyle Allen received all the reps behind QB Josh Allen during practice Wednesday, Aug. 9. In previous sessions, Allen and QB Matt Barkley have split reps as the backup.
| Footballguys view: This is a battle worth watching if you're a Bills fan. If Josh Allen was banged up, the team would have to make it work with one of these backups. That's not great for their chances, so keeping Josh Allen healthy is their best bet to push for a Super Bowl. |

Texans | Kyle Allen struggles in another start Sun Dec 4, 06:11 PM
Houston Texans QB Kyle Allen completed 20-of-39 passes for 201 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns, while he ran twice for just one yard. Allen also fumbled twice, losing one of them.
| Footballguys view: Allen was markedly worse than Davis Mills, and you have to wonder if we will see Mills again vs. Dallas next week. As long as Allen is out there, you'll want to start the defense facing him. |

Then, expect that draft pick to be a quarterback. With a 1-8-1 record, the Texans currently sit atop the draft chart with the no.1 overall pick. |

| Footballguys view: Washington gave up a fifth round pick for Allen last year, but he's not a sure thing to make the team this year. At worst, teams will have Allen on speed dial if they need an emergency quarterback during the season. |

Updating previous reports, Washington Football Team QB Kyle Allen (ankle) will require surgery on his dislocated ankle, and his season is over.

McKissic) and the team needs to keep featuring RB Antonio Gibson in the backfield. That means 2019 first-round pick Dwayne Haskins should be activated as Smith's primary backup. |

| Footballguys view: Smith was much better than his first relief appearance this year and it looks like he can sustain the value of Terry McLaurin in addition to retaining his title as checkdown king, buoying the value of J.D. McKissic. We'll expect him to start and have QB2/Superflex/Streamer value against the Lions next week even though he threw multiple picks with the game on the line this week. |
