New Keenan Allen Story Could Impact The Bears’ NFL Draft Plans

The Chicago Bears were thrilled to get Keenan Allen when they did. GM Ryan Poles felt the team needed another reliable presence at wide receiver. The six-time Pro Bowler would make the perfect ally for a young quarterback. Pairing him with D.J. Moore was even better. That said, the trade came with two significant caveats. One is the fact Allen turns 32 this year. Players entering their 30s tend to become risky investments due to increased health concerns. Another is that 2024 is the final year of his current contract.
