If wide receiver Keenan Allen plays again next season, he said Friday it will be in Los Angeles or Chicago.
Allen, who will become a free agent after the game Sunday, kept his family in Southern California after the Bears traded for him in March. He said he’d be open to playing for the Chargers or Rams in 2025. If he decides to sign a new deal with the Bears, Allen said he’d at least consider moving his family to the Chicago area.
“I have to talk it over with the wife and the kids to see what they want to do,” he said.
Allen entered the league in 2013 and played with the Chargers his whole career — in San Diego, Carson, California, and Los Angeles. He had perhaps the best season of his career, catching 108 passes for 1,243 yards in 13 games, in 2023. With the Bears, Allen, 32, put together perhaps his worst season with 67 receptions for 719 yards.
Allen has liked his new home — “The city is top-notch; the food is great,” he said — but whomever the Bears hire as coach will influence whether he returns. He wants a coach with experience.
It was difficult to transition from playing with two quarterbacks in his career — Philip Rivers and Justin Herbert — to a rookie, Caleb Williams, who is learning.
“You just gotta be patient with him,” he said.
