The Los Angeles Chargers are getting ready to start training camp, where they will figure out exactly where their roster stands going into the season.
The team could seek an additional wide receiver and could call a familiar face in Keenan Allen to return to the team.
“General manager Joe Hortiz has never shut the door on Allen returning (again). In his 2025 return to L.A. after a one-year Chicago hiatus, Allen had a team-high 81 receptions for 777 yards,“ NFL.com contributor Grant Gordon wrote. ”This
would be a feel-good homecoming (again) for the 34-year-old potential Hall of Famer. He has great chemistry with Justin Herbert and is a franchise legend, but does he fit in Mike McDaniel’s scheme?”
The Chargers selected Brenen Thompson in the fourth round of the draft but didn’t make any notable free agent decisions at the position. Allen was the team’s top wide receiver last season, so not having him will force other Chargers to step up like Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.
The change to offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel does explain why the Chargers might have moved off of him, but there’s reason to believe he could return if the team isn’t satisfied with its current wide receiver group.
The Chargers should be open to the idea of improving their team, which could include Allen returning to the mix.
