The Bears made a major move today, securing the services of six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen in a significant trade with the Chargers. This acquisition adds a seasoned and accomplished player to the Bears’ roster, with General Manager Ryan Poles expressing excitement about the impact Allen will have on the team’s offense.
Allen, a veteran of 11 NFL seasons, joins the Bears after a successful tenure with the Chargers, where he amassed impressive stats including 904 receptions for 10,530 yards and 59 touchdowns. The 31-year-old receiver brings a wealth of experience and playmaking ability, having been voted to the Pro Bowl six times and consistently delivering standout performances on the field.
Last season, despite battling a heel injury that sidelined him for the final four games, Allen led the NFL with 108 receptions for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns. His versatility was on display as he became the first player in league history to achieve multiple milestones, including recording at least 15 receptions in three games and throwing a touchdown pass while also catching 18 passes for 215 yards in a single game.

The addition of Allen bolsters the Bears’ receiving corps, complementing DJ Moore, who also had a stellar 2023 season with over 1,200 receiving yards. With Allen now in the mix, the Bears boast one of the most dynamic receiver duos in the NFL, providing a significant boost to their offensive capabilities.
This trade marks another strategic move by the Bears, following last year’s acquisition of Moore in a blockbuster trade with the Panthers. The team’s commitment to building a formidable offense is evident, and Allen’s arrival adds another dimension to their offensive game plan as they prepare for the upcoming season.
