There’s the veteran quarterback?
The Tennessee Titans have signed quarterback Brandon Allen to a one-year deal according to Mike Garafalo:

As the tweet mentions, Allen and Titans head coach Brian Callahan were together with the Cincinnati Bengals. It’s hard to imagine this was the “competition for Will Levis” that Callahan talked about at the end of last season but maybe it is. I don’t see them signing another veteran quarterback with Allen in the fold.
Does this point to them sticking at the number one pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and drafting Cam Ward? It seems increasingly more likely after the moves they have made as free agency opens. It is also hard to imagine a scenario where Callahan is OK heading into the season with his options being Levis and Allen. While this new regime has preached patience, I’m not sure Callahan has the same rope that Chad Brinker and Mike Borgonzi do.
Allen has thrown for 1,810 yards with 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions in his five seasons where has seen regular season action. He was a sixth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars back in 2016.
