Report: Keenan Allen, Chargers Agree to 4-Year Contract Worth More Than $80M

Keenan Allen has established himself as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and the Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly paying him accordingly.

The Chargers and Allen agreed to terms on a new four-year contract worth more than $80 million Saturday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport noted the deal makes Allen the second-highest paid wide receiver in the league.

Allen's previous contract was set to expire after he made $10.5 million in base salary in 2020.

He appeared well on his way to becoming a go-to option for the Chargers when he tallied 1,046 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches as a rookie in 2013, but injuries became a problem during the following years.
