Kyle Allen

DET • QB • #4

Lions signed QB Kyle Allen, formerly of the Steelers.

Allen joins two other backups in Detroit. Hendon Hooker, who is under contract through 2026, was Detroit’s backup last year. Jake Fromm, who is under contract through 2025, is currently third string. The Lions can notably save all $1.03 million of Fromm’s salary with a pre-June 1 release. Allen is a more proven veteran than Fromm. Ultimately the Lions may just carry four quarterbacks in camp and see what happens.
