The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Allen (6-2, 209) as a sixth-round pick (No. 201 overall) out of Arkansas in 2016. His last game appearance was with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022, when he completed all three of his pass attempts for 22 total yards, per Pro Football Reference.
Allen, 31, spent the 2023 season as the third quarterback on the 49ers' depth chart, behind Purdy and Darnold. He also previously played for the Denver Broncos.
In the four NFL seasons in which he has taken a snap, Allen has completed 56.7 percent of his passes for 1,611 yards with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions while adding 64 rushing yards on 33 carries in 15 game appearances, including nine starts.

Does 49ers QB Brock Purdy need Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel for success?

Rumors circulated before and during the 2024 NFL Draft about the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers losing one of their top two wide receivers—Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel. Such a scenario could have significantly impacted the team's success in the upcoming season and posed a potential blow for quarterback Brock Purdy, who has thrived alongside the dynamic duo on the field.
However, none of these speculations came to fruition. Both Aiyuk and Samuel remain on the roster, at least for another season, though their future beyond that remains uncertain.
Aiyuk is seeking a contract extension that would position him among the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. At the same time, Samuel already commands a significant salary following a deal rework in 2022.

Rumors swirled around the statuses of San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft. In the end, both players remained on the roster, and the speculation surrounding the two star players dwindled.
While the 49ers repeatedly insisted that signing Aiyuk to a long-term deal remained the priority, there were reports of trade talks involving him and Samuel. After San Francisco drafted wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 overall pick, the Aiyuk trade rumors cooled off, and the Samuel ones heated up.
