The Chicago Bears have had a disappointing season, to say the least. They are once again in search of a new head coach, but that’s not the only significant change that could hit their team next season.While analyzing needs and potential moves for every team, Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder predicted that the Eagles would sign Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen. Allen has not lived up to the expectations the Bears probably had for him. He is aging and could be in search of a team that gives him a chance to win a Super Bowl. The Eagles could be searching for a third receiver to join A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

“Allen could fit that description, having only made the playoffs three times and never winning a playoff game during his 12 seasons,” wrote Holder. “While the 32-year-old is having a down year in a bad Bears offense, he still has (seven) touchdowns on the campaign and is a year removed from a 1,200-yard performance.”

Allen signed a four-year, $80 million extension with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2020. The Bears traded a fourth-round pick for him this offseason. He has 694 yards on the season in 13 games. He is still a serviceable player and could be a great compliment to the duo the Eagles currently have. Meanwhile, the Bears would not be too upset watching him leave as they could land a cheaper, younger replacement in the NFL Draft.
