BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Bills agreed to terms with their former backup quarterback Kyle Allen, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

Allen's deal is for two years and $4.1 million, but it could be worth up to $6.1 million, the source said. He was previously with the Bills as Josh Allen's backup in 2023.

The Bills needed a backup quarterback after Mitchell Trubisky agreed to a two-year deal earlier Monday with the Tennessee Titans.

Kyle Allen spent last season backing up Jared Goff in Detroit after spending the 2024 season as a backup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kyle Allen has played in 34 games and made 19 career starts.

Josh Allen has not missed a start since his rookie season, the longest active start streak among quarterbacks (122).

The Bills also re-signed quarterback Shane Buechele to a one-year deal earlier this offseason.
