Kyle Allen

Lions signed QB Kyle Allen, formerly of the Steelers, to a contract.

Allen joins two other backups in Detroit; Hendon Hooker, who is under contract through 2026, and Jake Fromm, who is under contract through 2025, 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 and it would be unsurprising to see the latter player be released.
