Underneath Harbaugh’s regime, Los Angeles is making a number of tweaks to their roster. The crew was left in a messy cap scenario this offseason. New GM Joe Hortiz is doing what he can to open up some cash for LA to have accessible. Simply final evening, FOX Sports activities’ Jay Glazer reported that Chargers WR Keenan Allen has been traded to the Bears in trade for a 4th-round choose.

For the final 11 seasons, Keenan Allen had been a member of the Chargers franchise. He was a third-round choose by the crew in 2013. His 10,530 receiving yards are the second-most in franchise historical past. Los Angeles was on the books for a $34.7 million cap hit if Allen was on the crew in 2024. The franchise WR was not keen to renegotiate his deal. That led to the 32-year-old being traded East to the Chicago Bears. All Los Angeles acquired again was a fourth-round choose.
Nevertheless, the crew was in a position to half methods with Allen’s large cap hit for 2024. Now, the six-time Professional Bowler is becoming a member of one of the talked about groups this offseason. Chicago has the #1 choose within the 2024. They’re going to presumably take QB Caleb Williams out of USC. The rookie would have D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen as his high two targets. Not a nasty approach to begin your profession.

In his last season with the Chargers, Keenan Allen had a career-high 108 receptions together with 1,243 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. Allen joins one other productive WR in D.J. Moore who simply performed his first season with the Bears. His QB was Justin Fields they usually had a strong 12 months collectively. Moore had a career-high (91) receptions, 1,364 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns. If Williams is drafted by Chicago, he’ll have two gamers able to being WR1’s. D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen can be a particular pairing for the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner at USC. Chicago might be in line for a playoff-bound season in 2024.
