Already boasting the likes of DJ Moore, the Bears further bolstered their receiving corps with acquisitions such as D'Andre Swift, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze. However, amidst this excitement, speculation looms regarding the longevity of one of these acquisitions.
During the recent segment of ESPN 1000's «Kap & J. Hood,» analysts voiced agreement that Allen's tenure in Chicago may be short-lived, dubbing it a "one-and-done" scenario. Despite Allen's prowess, his age coupled with Odunze's emergence suggests the Bears may opt to allocate resources elsewhere in the future.
However, optimism prevails as the Bears retain formidable talent in the form of two All-Pro receivers and the reliable Cole Kmet. While an extension for Allen remains a possibility pending stellar performance, faith in Odunze's potential as a WR1 remains strong.
As the Bears gear up to potentially dominate the upcoming season, the possibility of Allen's departure prompts reflection on the team's strategic allocation of resources. With a potential focus on strengthening the offensive line, Bears faithful may be wise to secure Allen memorabilia while it's still available, should he indeed depart.
