The Browns signed Allen on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Allen spent the first six seasons of his career with the Rams but was released in a cap move earlier this offseason.

He should compete with 2022 seventh-rounder Dawson Deaton for top backup duties behind starting center Ethan Pocic.
