The pickup of Allen marks the second consecutive season the Broncos brought in an opposing quarterback from their next-to-last preseason game.
Last year, the Broncos claimed Kevin Hogan off waivers to replace Paxton Lynch on their roster. Hogan had completed 9 of 11 for 88 yards for Washington against the Broncos in preseason game No. 3 last year.
Hogan was released Saturday and his No. 2 quarterback spot went to Allen, a fourth-year quarterback with zero NFL regular-season game experience. Eight days after he completed 12 of 19 for 162 yards against the Broncos last Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Allen is switching sides.
A factor is Allen practiced, and played in the preseason, for Rams coach Sean McVay, who employs an offensive system similar to that of Broncos’ offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello.
McVay was an assistant under Mike and Kyle Shanahan in Washington and Scangarello has been mentored by Kyle Shanahan.
