The Tennessee Titans are signing a one-year contract with veteran quarterback Brandon Allen, the Tennessean and other outlets reported Thursday.

Why it matters: Allen, 32, has served as a backup quarterback for multiple teams since reaching the NFL in 2016. The fact that the Titans are signing a backup has fueled further speculation that the team will look to pick a starting QB in the draft.

The intrigue: Allen previously worked with Titans coach Brian Callahan when Callahan was offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals.
