The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed quarterback Brandon Allen to a one-year contract Wednesday. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Allen, 28, started five of the Bengals’ last six games in 2020 after No. 1 overall draft pick Joe Burrow was lost for the season with a torn left ACL and MCL in Week 11.
Allen was 1-4 in those starts, completing 63.4 percent of his passes for 925 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions.
Burrow said earlier this offseason that his recovery timetable has him on track to be ready by the season opener.
Drafted in the sixth round by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016, Allen started three games for the Denver Broncos in 2019. For his career, he has completed 129 of 226 passes for 1,440 yards with eight TDs and six picks in eight starts (2-6 record).
