A former Denver Broncos<\/a> backup quarterback has found a new NFL home.<\/p>\n The New York Giants<\/a> signed quarterback Brandon Allen on Monday, the team announced (via Giants Wire<\/a>). The 33-year-old veteran is now poised to serve as New York’s third-string quarterback behind Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston.<\/p>\n Allen (6-2, 219 pounds) served as a Broncos<\/a> backup quarterback behind Joe Flacco and Drew Lock in 2019. He went 1-2 as a fill-in starter that season, completing 46.4% of his passes for 515 yards and three touchdowns against two interceptions. The journeyman QB has spent time with seven NFL teams in his career, going 2-8 as a starter.<\/p>\n Elsewhere on the ex-Bronco front, wide receiver Elijah Moore signed with the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>. That signing happened in March, but it flew under the radar at Broncos Wire<\/a> until this week. Moore (5-10, 180 pounds) joined Denver’s practice squad last December.<\/p>\n He was elevated to the game-day roster for the AFC Championship game in January and hauled in a four-yard catch. The Broncos let Moore’s practice squad contract expire<\/a> earlier this year, making him a free agent. He’s now back on his feet in Philly.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
