EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles
Chargers agreed Tuesday to terms with six-time Pro Bowl wide
receiver Keenan Allen.
Allen returns to the team that drafted him in 2013 after one
season with the Chicago Bears.
He is second in Chargers history for both receptions (904) and
receiving yards (10,530) for a wide receiver.
The Chargers traded him to the Bears last offseason for a
fourth-round draft pick. Allen had 70 catches for 744 yards and
seven TDs in Chicago.
Allen reunites with quarterback Justin Herbert, who made the
33-year-old wide receiver his favorite target in their time
together, with Allen catching 24 TD passes.
Allen joins a wide receiver corps that is different than in
recent years. Ladd McConkey returns for his second season after
breaking Allen's single-season rookie record for catches and
yards. They also have Quentin Johnston, Tyler Conklin and
rookies Tre' Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith after free agent
Mike Williams suddenly retired before the start of training
camp.
Allen started 138 of 144 games for the Chargers in his first
stint with the team.
He had a record-setting season in 2023, making a single-season
franchise-record 108 catches.
