It took months of speculation but it finally happened: Keenan Allen returned to the LA Chargers, signing a one-year deal with the team on Tuesday. Allen joins an exciting young wide receiver room that has more depth than the wide receiver room he left behind in 2023.
Allen is no longer in his prime and the Chargers don't need the prime version of Slayer for this signing to be successful. The Chargers just need someone who Justin Herbert is comfortable throwing to, particularly on third down and in the redzone. Allen is just that.
Injecting Allen into the wide receiver room undoubtedly shakes it up heading into the 2025 season.
