JUST NOW : Keenan Allen breaks Chargers fans’ hearts with latest golf course video……
It was about a month ago, and I still can’t believe it occurred. In exchange for a fourth-round pick and some much-needed salary-cap space, the Los Angeles Chargers sold veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen to the Chicago Bears.
Fans immediately reacted negatively to the move because Allen was their favorite non-quarterback on the team. But as information surfaced that Allen’s camp declined the Bolts’ offer of a two-year deal, it was obvious that the franchise had to take the necessary action.
Allen now has a new opportunity for a young, exciting Bears team that will have first-overall pick Caleb Williams under center. Seeing Allen on another team never seemed like a real possibility, but the former Chargers receiver has taken the change in full stride.
And even though Chargers fans have gotten a month to get over this move, seeing Allen supporting the Bears does not get any easier. Even something as simple as Allen getting a Bears golf ball market is hard to watch for Bolts fans.
Chargers fans will never get used to Keenan Allen saying “go Bears”
Somebody needs to pinch us because this feels like a nightmare that every Chargers fan needs to wake up from. Sure, it made sense from a business perspective, but it does not make it any less painful that Allen is now openly supporting his new team.
Allen joins a shortlist of all-time Chargers greats who donned different uniforms at the end of their careers. The most recent of which was Allen’s first quarterback, Philip Rivers. Rivers spent his last season in the league with the Indianapolis Colts. While he had a good year and made the playoffs, he never looked right wearing that uniform.
