And he’s interested in remaining with the Chicago Bears. But are the Chicago Bears interested in retaining the future Hall of Fame pass-catcher? That one gets a big, fat maybe. Allen is approaching his age-33 campaign and—considering the current average shelf life of an NFL receiver is 2.

The Chicago Bears have their quarterback and head coach of the future with Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson. Chicago has the No. 10 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and will have a chance to add some high-end talent. The Bears should be looking to add some more talent in free agency as well, especially if Keenan Allen decides to leave.

“Detroit’s passing attack was largely centered around wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, along with tight end Sam LaPorta. However, Patrick (394 yards, 3 TDs) played a valuable role as a third receiver. He could fill a similar role in Chicago alongside D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet. ”

The Chicago Bears are entering a new era with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and head coach Ben Johnson. With the No. 10 pick in the NFL Draft, they have an opportunity to add elite talent, but free agency could also be a key factor in shaping their roster—especially if veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen departs.
