Kyle Allen Fantasy

The Houston Texans are signing former Washington Commanders quarterback Kyle Allen to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday. Allen's one-year deal is believed to be worth $2.5 million. Allen became an unrestricted free agent this year when he was non-tendered by Washington. The 26-year-old played in just six games (four starts) for Washington in the last two seasons and went a combined 72-for-106 for 730 yards, five touchdowns and one interception with a QB rating of 99.2. In his final season with the Carolina Panthers, Allen really struggled with 17 touchdowns and 16 interceptions while throwing for 3,322 yards in 13 games (12 starts). With Deshaun Watson likely to be traded this week, Allen will presumably back up second-year QB Davis Miller in 2022.

The Washington Commanders will not be offering a tender contract to restricted free-agent quarterback Kyle Allen, according to Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post. As a result, Allen will become an unrestricted free agent and he will be free to sign with any team next week. The Commanders just acquired Carson Wentz from the Indianapolis Colts, and Wentz will be the team's new starting quarterback. As of now, Taylor Heinicke is the only other quarterback the team has signed for next year. We should see the Commanders add another quarterback via free agency or in the upcoming draft to serve as their No. 3 quarterback, or even compete with Heinicke for a backup role.

The Washington Commanders are unlikely to bring back impending restricted free-agent quarterback Kyle Allen. Taylor Heinicke, the team's primary starter in 2021 after Ryan Fitzpatrick got injured early in the year, is the only QB under contract for 2022. Heinicke's roster spot appears to be safe, but the team is seeking an upgrade at the position and unlike last year, head coach Ron Rivera has not emphasized a starting competition. Even if Washington gives up their first-round pick in this year's draft to acquire a veteran starting quarterback to be their starter, there's a good chance they'll look to add a rookie signal-caller in the draft. After making four starts in 2020, Allen played in parts of just two games last year and went 12-for-19 for 120 yards with one touchdown.
