Sometimes you have to leave home to find out how much home really means to you. After 11 years with the Chargers in both San Diego and Los Angeles, Keenan Allen signed a free-agency deal with the Chicago Bears last offseason. And even though his one year in the Windy City was reasonably productive (70 catches, 744 yards) Allen couldn't stay away from the place he made his name, and now he's officially back with the Chargers on a one-year deal.
Chargers projected wide reciever depth chart after signing Keenan Allen
Player | Position |
|---|---|
Ladd McConkey | WR1 |
Quentin Johnston | WR2 |
Keenan Allen | WR3 |
Tre Harris | WR4 |
Derius Davis | WR5 |
Keenan Allen will be more than a nice story in 2025
The Chargers aren't bringing back the guy who's second all-time in franchise receiving yards just for funzies. After Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston, there aren't many guarantees in the Chargers wide receiver room. Derius Davis and rookie Tre Harris will be nice to have on occasion (and Harris could eventually blossom into something much better than a WR4) but Allen will be a pretty important part of this offense.
