Brandon Allen re-signed

I thought I'd revisit the idea of upgrading the backup QB after some recent signings.

I definitely understand Weezy's sentiment of wanting to upgrade the backup QB spot, but after Mariota signing with the Falcons to be a starter I wanted to check out the contracts of some of the backup-caliber QBs that have been mentioned in various posts on this board.

Brissett - 1 year, $4.65 million (4.5 guaranteed)
Mariota - 2 year, $18.75 million 
Taylor - 2 year, $11 million (can reach 17 million with incentives)

Other players:

Bridegwater - 1 year, $6.5 million (all guaranteed)
Trubisky - 2 year, $14.25 million (can reach 27 million with incentives)
Winston - 2 year, $28 million (15.2 guaranteed)

Upgrading the backup QB position apparently is not cheap in the NFL. So unless a team pays big dollars, they have to go the route of Allen (Bengals), Henne (Cheifs), McCoy (Cardinals), or Daniel (Charges) as examples of guys signing team-friendly, 1 year deals.

If Fitzy and Dalton sign, it will be interesting to see the dollar amount they get. Ultimately, Allen's probably most valuable for the in-game contributions he can make by talking to Burrow and other players on the offense.

Edit: I also recognize some of these guys who have been backups were signed to start: Mariota, Trubisky, & Winston.
