Overview

  • Allen signed the one-year deal after spending the 2024 season with the Chicago Bears, where he caught 70 passes for 744 yards and seven touchdowns.
  • The signing addresses a sudden need for experience in a receiving corps reshaped by Mike Williams’s surprise retirement at the start of training camp.
  • Over 11 seasons with the Chargers, Allen amassed 904 receptions and 10,530 receiving yards, ranking second in franchise history in both categories.
  • Allen visited the team early in training camp before agreeing to terms and will now play under head coach Jim Harbaugh’s regime.
  • He reunites with quarterback Justin Herbert, with whom he connected for 24 touchdown passes during their previous tenure together.
