Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport recently listed former Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen as one of the top free agents left on the board this offseason.
You are going to notice something of a theme with many of the free agents in this column: By NFL standards, they are, um, old,” Davenport wrote. “Last year with the Chicago Bears, it appeared that age might finally be catching up to Keenan Allen. The 33-year-old posted his fewest catches (70) and receiving yards (744) since missing nearly all of the 2016 campaign.
“Just two years ago, though, he caught 108 passes, topped 1,200 yards and scored seven times for the Chargers. He matched that touchdown total last year in Chicago. He has five 100-catch seasons, six 1,000-yard campaigns and six Pro Bowls on his NFL resume.”
