ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The Indianapolis Colts have signed veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen to a one-year deal worth up to $8.32 million to strengthen their thin receiving corps.
- Allen, 34, returns to the NFL after recording 81 catches last season with the Los Angeles Chargers, reuniting with Colts coach Shane Steichen, who was formerly the Chargers' offensive coordinator.
- The Colts pursued Allen following the offseason trade of Michael Pittman Jr. and the ankle surgery of new No. 1 receiver Alec Pierce, creating uncertainty in their receiving lineup.
- Allen, a six-time Pro Bowler and one of the Chargers' all-time greats, ranks 13th in NFL history with 1,055 receptions, totaling 12,051 yards and 70 touchdowns over his career.
- Known for his effectiveness on third downs, Allen was the Chargers' most-targeted receiver last season and remains a reliable veteran presence for Indianapolis.
