After being traded to the Chicago Bears from the Chargers ahead of last season, the six-time Pro Bowler is now a free agent.</p><p>During his time with the Chargers, Allen broke numerous team records and established himself as one of the best route runners in the league. His last season with the Bolts was arguably his best one. In 2023, Allen <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/15818/keenan-allen" rel="noopener">caught a career-high 108</a> passes and had 1,243 yards for seven touchdowns. He even threw a TD to Mike Williams early on in the season.</p><p>In his lone season in Chicago, Allen did not have the season he had hoped for. He caught just 70 passes for 744 yards, but did score seven times, matching the second most in a season for his career.</p><p>At age 33, the Cal Berkeley product doesn’t have many prime seasons left. He is still very valuable as a pass catcher, with experience and the ability to separate.</p><p>Teams can benefit from signing the veteran receiver.</p><p>With all this in mind, let’s take a look at who the best fits are for Keenan Allen, as we are getting late in free agency.</p><h2><b>Ranking the Best Keenan Allen Fits for 2025</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Ranking-the-Best-Keenan-Allen-Fits-for-2025.jpg"><figcaption>Credit: Daniel Bartel</figcaption></figure><h2><b>4. Los Angeles Chargers</b></h2><p>The Chargers have been rumored to be a team that could potentially bring back Allen. I don’t expect it to happen, but the Bolts are a team that Allen <a href="https://boltbeat.com/bears-keenan-allen-once-again-shows-he-wants-a-chargers-reunion#:~:text=Allen's%20production%20dipped%20with%20the,or%20Los%20Angeles%20next%20season." rel="noopener">said he would play for again</a>. Allen and Justin Herbert would pick up right where they left off. Allen is one of the best receivers in team history, and there is no question the team would bring him back for the right price in the right situation.</p><p>LA recently drafted Tre Harris from Ole Miss, and he looks to insert his name into the top of the depth chart. With Mike Williams back, alongside Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston, there doesn’t seem to be much room for Allen. The Bolts getting Harris might have closed that door altogether.</p><p>Head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-jim-harbaugh-breaks-silence-possible-keenan-allen-reunion">Jim Harbaugh did say, “Anything is possible,</a>” regarding the situation.</p><h2><b>3. Chicago Bears</b></h2><p>The Bears are in a similar position to the Chargers in terms of recently drafting a receiver to fill the void. They drafted Luther Burden III out of Missouri, and he should shine right away. Playing next to DJ Moore and Rome Odunze, Caleb Williams should have plenty of options at receiver. Not to mention, the Bears also drafted Colston Loveland to pair next to Cole Kmet. The offense is loaded.</p><p>If <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/chicago-bears/bears-rumors-chicago-hint-keenan-allens-departure">Allen was going to return to the Bears</a>, he probably would have done it by now. That door is closing.</p><h2><b>2.  Arizona Cardinals</b></h2><p>The Cardinals make sense for Allen’s skill set. He’ll be able to mentor Harrison Jr. and help shape him into a great route-running receiver.</p><p>An ESPN <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45161231/2025-nfl-best-team-fits-remaining-free-agents-trades" rel="noopener">article from Matt Bowen</a> recently mentioned that the Arizona Cardinals are Bowen’s best fit as a team to sign Allen’s services. The Cardinals, led by Kyler Murray, are a team on the rise in the NFC West. They showcased last season that they are a threat to make the postseason and just barely missed out. With Allen there, he, alongside <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/arizona-cardinals/cardinals-news-marvin-harrison-jr-sophomore-season">Marvin Harrison Jr.</a>, Trey McBride, and Michael Wilson, could be lethal. The Cardinals need a receiver, and Allen certainly boosts their offense and receiving core.</p><h2><b>1. Buffalo Bills</b></h2><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/bills-riskiest-move-2025-nfl-offseason">Buffalo Bills</a> come in as my No. 1 landing spot for Allen. The Allen-Allen duo would be a fun one to watch. Reigning 2024 MVP, Josh Allen, could use a receiver of Allen’s caliber. The Bills don’t have a deep receiver list, and Allen could be outside alongside Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir. Keenan Allen’s former teammates, Josh Palmer and Joey Bosa, signed with the Bills earlier in the offseason.</p><p>One reason this would be a great fit is because the Bills need a veteran receiver to pair with Allen. After trading for Amari Cooper last season, he is likely not going to return to the team. That did not seem like a good fit. Allen could fill a similar role that Stefon Diggs did during his Bills’ tenure. Allen is only two years older than Diggs but still has plenty left in the tank.</p><p>Another big reason why Allen should sign with the Bills is that he will have the chance to play for a Super Bowl contender. Allen only won two playoff games with the Chargers, and one was during his rookie season in 2013. Josh Allen and Keenan Allen would be a dynamic duo and the signing could help them get over the hump, and defeat the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. The former Chargers receiver has plenty of experience taking on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-ben-johnson-reacts-to-bombshell-offensive-line-moves">offensive line</a>, in particular, looks to be one of the best in the league after the front office swung several moves to revamp the position. However, one move that may not be in the cards is a reunion with veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen.</p><p>The Bears picked up Allen in a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers last offseason, and he ended up catching 70 passes for 744 yards and seven touchdowns. He took a backseat to other weapons in the offense at times, though, with D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze getting bigger roles than him as the season went on. Allen has been linked to a reunion with the Chargers in free agency, and fans were quick to note that the Bears <a href="https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/bears-hint-keenan-allen-returning-chargers" rel="noopener">gave away his No. 13 jersey</a> to wide receiver Maurice Alexander.</p><p>“Those Bears listed the 2025 roster and tucked into the massive wealth of information there is a notable little detail—wide receiver Maurice Alexander has been assigned the No. 13. That No. 13, of course, last belonged to Allen, who donned the same number during his lengthy Chargers tenure,” Chris Roling wrote for Los Angeles Chargers on SI.</p><h2><b>Bears, Keenan Allen seem set to head in different directions</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Keenan-Allen.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With Moore and Odunze establishing themselves as the Bears one-two punch at wide receiver, and other weapons like tight end Cole Kmet and running back D’Andre Swift lurking, the need for Allen isn’t where it once was. A third wideout to work behind Moore and Odunze would be nice, but that could be a spot that the team targets in the 2025 NFL draft, rather than re-signing Allen.</p><p>Allen has been hinting at a return to Los Angeles recently, and while this jersey number issue could be cleared up quite easily, all signs are pointing to him leaving Chicago after just one season. Anything could happen, as Allen is free to sign with any team, but it seems as if the ship has sailed when it comes to him potentially rejoining the Bears this offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He compiled 100+ receptions in five of those seasons and reeled in 108 catches for 1,243 yards and seven TDs in 2023 before departing in free agency.</p><p>The Chargers haven’t made a ton of moves on the open market other <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/chargers-news-reunite-mike-williams-justin-herbert-nfl-free-agency">than bringing back Mike Williams</a>. While Ladd McConkey has emerged as Justin Herbert’s top target, running it back with a player like Allen wouldn’t be a terrible move by any means. He’d just have a different role. Perhaps LA is waiting until after the draft to explore an Allen reunion.</p><p>Williams recently posted an IG story with a picture alongside Allen with the caption “Run it back turbo,” and Allen reposted it. I mean, his numbers in a Chargers uniform speak for themselves. Sure, he’s a little bit older now, but Allen is a reliable target who knows this offense inside and out.</p><p>LA could still certainly add another weapon for Herbert through the draft. But, they should seriously consider Allen as an option as well. If the head coach is interested in it, then it must remain a possibility.</p><p>The Chargers will be looking to bounce back in Harbaugh’s second season after exiting in the Wild Card Round. Los Angeles finished the regular season with an 11-6 record, but optimism remains with such a wonderful HC at the helm.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Allen has gone from the Los Angeles Chargers, to the Chicago Bears, to now wherever his 2025 destination becomes. Only this time, the perennial Pro Bowl wide receiver has his pick of where he wants to play ahead of NFL free agency.</p><p>Allen comes with a lengthy 100-catch, 1,000-yard past during his time with the Chargers. However, his numbers declined to 70 catches for 744 yards with the Bears in 2024. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-keenan-allen-eye-opening-comment-left-to-prove-this-season">Allen still wanted to put some good stuff on tape</a>, though, ahead of free agency.</p><p>The 32-year-old Allen remains a valuable possession and end zone threat. He caught seven touchdowns for the Bears despite the drop in reception and yardage production. Allen’s resume and leadership will be hard to turn down for teams seeking wide receiver help. Or even the teams envisioning a Super Bowl run.</p><p>There are five teams that look perfect for Allen — including two destinations he openly hopes to land in for this offseason. Here are the top five places for Allen ranked one to five.</p><h2><b>1. Chicago Bears</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Keenan-Allen-Bears.jpg"><figcaption>Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Yes indeed, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-keenan-allen-chargers-rams-leaves-chicago">the Bears look like a strong contender to re-land Allen</a>. The wide receiver shared via Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times that Chicago and L.A. <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/01/03/bears-receiver-keenan-allen-chicago-los-angeles-rams-chargers-if-i-play-next-year-nfl" rel="noopener">are his preferred cities</a>.</p><p>The Ben Johnson hire fuels the possibility of Allen returning to the Bears’ huddle. Johnson turned Amon-Ra St. Brown into a perennial Pro Bowl wideout while with the Detroit Lions. Jameson Williams was another who rose under Johnson — producing his first 1,000-yard season through the now ex-offensive coordinator of the NFC North champions.</p><p>Johnson runs a creative and aggressive downfield passing attack. His system is enough to convince Allen to give it another shot in the Windy City.</p><h2><b>2. Los Angeles Chargers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Keenan-Allen-with-the-Chargers.jpg"><figcaption>Yannick Peterhans-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Even the team and head coach who dumped Allen look like a potential landing spot for him.</p><p>Jim Harbaugh opted to clean house and traded away the Chargers’ most consistent wide receiver. Now they have a chance to bring him back.</p><p>Again, Allen cited L.A. as a preferred destination. The Bolts look more attractive than ever after their surprise postseason run. Bringing Allen home can possibly allow the decorated WR to finish his NFL career what it all began. Only this time, Allen will be on an aspiring Super Bowl contender.</p><h2><b>3. Baltimore Ravens</b></h2><p>The Ravens have taken more of an initiative to surround Lamar Jackson with past decorated veterans. Odell Beckham made a brief stop in Charm City in 2023. Derrick Henry followed one year later in the 2024 offseason.</p><p>Allen can give the two-time Most Valuable Player a needed veteran leader for the WR room. He may not possess the same speed from his early Charger years, but Allen gives Jackson extra reliable hands especially on third downs. Or even the red zone.</p><p>Adding Allen also creates less pressure on Zay Flowers to handle the inside dirty work at wideout. Lastly, Allen heads to a place that’s thrived off older veteran wideouts before — a la Anquan Boldin during their Super Bowl 47 run and Steve Smith Sr. from 2014 to 2016.</p><h2><b>4. Washington Commanders</b></h2><p>We’re throwing in one more contender — and one from the Beltway.</p><p>The Commanders overachieved in year one with Dan Quinn and rookie QB Jayden Daniels. Washington raises its championship hopes by swooping up Allen.</p><p>Allen paired with the electric and fast Terry McLaurin will become pick-your-poison for defenses. Zach Ertz is also part of this air attack and showed his hands haven’t aged yet. Allen to D.C. increases the Super Bowl chatter in D.C., plus puts the longtime wideout on a rising contender.</p><h2><b>5. Los Angeles Rams</b></h2><p>The Chargers aren’t the only L.A. team that looks attractable to the former Bolts WR.</p><p>Allen heads to a back-to-back playoff qualifier here, plus the reigning NFC West champs. Allen running routes in Sean McVay’s offense, plus teaming with fast rising star Puka Nacua, has to pique his interest.</p><p>Granted, the Rams are in a tougher spot with their QB and WR room this offseason. Matthew Stafford is dealing with retirement thoughts while Cooper Kupp is likely on his way out. But regardless, the Rams can use perimeter reinforcements. An established veteran like Allen is hard to pass on for L.A.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Bears have lost 10 games in a row to drop to 4-12 and have been one of the worst teams in the NFL over the last three months.</p><p>One of the players that was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-keenan-allen-eye-opening-comment-left-to-prove-this-season">supposed to come in and lift the Bears offense was Keenan Allen</a>. The vision with Allen was that he would give rookie quarterback Caleb Williams an easy outlet underneath and help move the chains. However, Allen’s production has been up-and-down this season for the Bears, leading many people to speculate whether he will leave Chicago in free agency this offseason.</p><p>While Allen hasn’t ruled out a return to the Bears, he is also <a href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/01/03/bears-receiver-keenan-allen-chicago-los-angeles-rams-chargers-if-i-play-next-year-nfl" rel="noopener">interested in going back</a> to Los Angeles, where his family still lives according to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times.</p><p>“The receiver, who will become a free agent after Sunday’s game, kept his family back at their home in Southern California after the Bears traded for him in March,” Finley wrote. “He said Friday he’d be open to playing for either the Chargers or Rams next year; if he decides to sign a new deal with the Bears, Allen said he’d at least consider moving his family to the Chicago area.”</p><p>Of course, Allen spent most of his career with the Chargers in Los Angeles. He spent 11 years with the organization during its time in San Diego and Los Angeles before being traded to the bears before the 2024 season. If the Bears don’t nail their next head coaching hire, it would be understandable for Allen to want to go back home.</p><h2><b>Keenan Allen would be a great fit with either LA team</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Keenan-Allen.jpg"><figcaption>Daniel Bartel-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>We have already seen the damage that Keenan Allen can do in a Chargers uniform. He has great chemistry with Justin Herbert and would give the Chargers another reliable pass catcher, which is one of their biggest needs heading into this offseason. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-news-even-patriots-cb-jonathan-jones-impressed-by-ladd-mcconkey">Ladd McConkey has shown that he can do damage</a> from any alignment, which would allow Allen to continue to play in the slot where he is the most effective.</p><p>Allen would also be a great fit with the Rams if he chooses to go play for Sean McVay and company. McVay is a pro at using his players in a way that amplifies their strengths, so Allen would surely get a ton of underneath looks as a route runner and a reliable first-down machine. Matthew Stafford would love to have an option like Allen alongside Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, so that could be an intriguing option for Allen.</p><p>Allen’s usage this season has been puzzling at times. The Bears haven’t always used Allen in the kind of role that he has thrived in throughout his career, and that is part of the reason that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-push-himself-exhaustion-offseason">Caleb Williams has not been able to get comfortable</a> in his rookie season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
