Keenan Allen might be stepping on his 12th season, but he is showing no signs of stopping. Last year alone he had a career high 108 receptions for 1243 yards while racking up 7 touchdowns along the way.
Talks of his salary and age aside, we look at 5 teams in no particular order that should go after Keenan.
New York Jets
Although the Jets have been after Davante Adams, the Raiders made it pretty obvious he wasn’t up for sale.
Allen would be a perfect foil for the supposedly “fitter than ever” Aaron Rodgers and it could unlock Jets potential as a team overall.

Kansas City Chiefs
What does Patrick Mahomes need more? He has just won the superbowl with Chiefs. Well, i suppose he won’t mind a playmaker at wide-receiver next season.
Keenan might not be Tyreek Hill, but with Mahomes alongside him, one might wonder how easily he can wreck havoc like Hill did.
That’s if Mahomes stays fit to throw him the ball.
Patrick Mahomes in action vs Bills
Buffalo Bills
Well we did mention earlier to ignore the talk about Keenan’s wages. See, in reality we can’t. So any team that can afford him needs to have some good money in cap space.
Bills just might be that. With 40m in cap space with their barrage of cuts , things might come in place for Keenan to join Bills.
It’s no secret that Stefon Diggs has been poor. This trade would go a long way in relieving pressure off Diggs and actually help him blossom into the player we all know he is.
New England Patriots
The worst kept secret in NFL is that New England Patriots are after a wide receiver. Their abysmal chase of Kendrick Bourne, Nelson Agholor and JuJu had caught everyone’s attention last season.
Whether its space on the field or in cap, if there’s one team that can easily afford Allen, its Patriots.
As a proven professional, he would help out whoever is under Center at Quarterback.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Calvin Ridley’s time at Jaguars is nearing its end. It’s not a matter of If but rather when now with him. With this in mind, in case they somehow find a way to keep Ridley, bringing in Keenan would greatly help Trevor Lawrence.
Jaguars are more like cubs and they need an experienced player to lead them. Allen could be perfect option for them.
