INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Colts have found their answer to the lingering question at wide receiver. According to multiple reports, the Colts are in the process of signing veteran wideout Keenan Allen. The one-year deal is worth up to $8.32 million. The six-time Pro Bowler br ings 12 years of experience to Indy, playing with the Chargers his entire career except for the 2024 season when he was with the Chicago Bears. The move reunites Allen with Colts head coach Shane Steichen. The two were together with the Chargers from 2014-20. Allen played 17 games with the Chargers last season, amassing 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns. The 34-year-old has reached at least 1,000 yards six times in his career. In addition to being named a Pro Bowler six different seasons, Allen was awarded the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2017. Allen was originally selected by the Chargers in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft after a record-breaking few seasons at Cal. Allen is a significant addition to the Colts thin receiver room. The Colts don’t have much depth behind Alec Pierce and Josh Downs. Not to mention, Pierce is still working his way back from March’s ankle surgery. Colts general manager Chris Ballard said last week that he anticipates Pierce will be ready for Week 1’s matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, but Indy’s highest paid receiver still hasn’t practiced yet. The Colts are preparing to host the Atlanta Falcons for two joint practices and a preseason game this week. The two teams will square off at Droplight Grand Park in Westfield on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and end the week with the second preseason game of the year. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium. ...read more read less
