Colts Sign Keenan Allen to Strengthen Receiving Corps

The Indianapolis Colts have secured veteran receiver Keenan Allen on a one-year contract, reportedly worth over $8 million, to bolster their receiving corps. This move comes as the team faces challenges due to injuries and offseason changes.

Allen, a 34-year-old player with 13 years of experience, joins the Colts after a season with the Chargers where he recorded 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns. His addition follows the trade of Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers and the absence of Alec Pierce, who is recovering from ankle surgery.

Drafted by the Chargers in 2013, Allen has established himself as a significant player in the league, earning six Pro Bowl selections and accumulating over 12,000 receiving yards throughout his career. His experience is expected to play a crucial role in the Colts' offense as they navigate their current roster challenges.
