General manager Ryan Poles took a big swing in the trade market to get the Chicago Bears an established veteran at a premium position.
The Bears sent a fourth-round pick — No. 110 — to the Los Angeles Chargers for wide receiver Keenan Allen on Thursday night. The 31-year-old had 108 catches for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games last season and made his sixth Pro Bowl.
Allen steps in as a starting receiver alongside DJ Moore and immediately eliminates the pressing need at the position. For now.
The 2024 season is the final one in Allen’s contract. He rejected an offer to take a pay cut from the team that drafted him in 2013 and will now play on a new team for the first time in his NFL career.
