Chargers trading Keenan Allen to Bears sparks Twitter reaction

Trading the popular, productive Allen after cutting ties with fellow receiver Mike Williams has some fans wondering what new weapons quarterback Justin Herbert will be dealing with next season.

New Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh and the team will search for skilled position players through free agency and the NFL draft in April after trading away veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen to the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.

Allen was coming off one of the better seasons of his 11-year career and was named a Pro Bowler for a sixth time. He caught a franchise-record 108 passes for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games in 2023.

Quarterback Justin Herbert will have a new surrounding cast after the Chargers also moved on from running back Austin Ekeler, receiver Mike Williams and tight end Gerald Everett this offseason.

Here’s what the NFL community had to say about the trade:

With a challenging salary cap situation to navigate, the Chargers’ new regime decided to prioritize keeping their defensive front together by restructuring deals with both edge rushers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack this week.
