Our backup QB situation is flakey. Most of us want an upgrade while the team sees him as the backup. In a small sample he had a descent 63.4 completion % and 82 rating on a bad team in 2020, last year's throw away game vs the Browns tells us little. He knows his role and the offense, with another guy they'd be stating over.
There are many guys that are better than him, but who are they getting for the same pay or a slight raise? Enter the ring chaser. Some like Fitz may sit through camp in hopes of a big QB going down with a poor backup (ironically) and getting a team to pay a premium once the money dries up by draft day. Somewhere between then though, you may get an old ring chaser to look at Allen and say they could beat him in camp and take less. They've stuck to Allen even through bad camps though, but we have never been so attractive.
