"The Buffalo Bills are bringing back a familiar face behind quarterback Josh Allen, agreeing to terms with their former backup Kyle Allen, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. The two-year, $4.1 million deal could be worth up to $6.1 million, the source said."
"Kyle Allen was previously with the Bills as Josh Allen's backup in 2023. He spent the 2025 season backing up Jared Goff in Detroit after spending the 2024 season as a backup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has played in 34 games and made 19 career starts."
"Kyle Allen and Josh Allen are close friends. Both entered the NFL in 2018 -- Josh Allen as the seventh overall pick, while Kyle Allen signed with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent."
The Buffalo Bills have re-signed Kyle Allen as backup quarterback to Josh Allen on a two-year contract valued at $4.1 million with potential to reach $6.1 million. This move follows Mitchell Trubisky's departure to the Tennessee Titans after serving as backup in 2021 and 2024-25. Kyle Allen previously backed up Josh Allen in 2023 and most recently spent the 2025 season with the Detroit Lions backing up Jared Goff. The two quarterbacks are close friends who both entered the NFL in 2018. Josh Allen maintains the longest active start streak among NFL quarterbacks at 122 games without missing starts due to injury since his rookie season. The Bills also retained Shane Buechele on a one-year deal.
