Bears GM Ryan Poles is keeping the door open to the possibility of securing a contract extension with star wide receiver Keenan Allen.
Ryan Poles has been active this offseason in their pursuit of a breakthrough season, especially with a rookie quarterback at the helm and the addition of star WR Keenan Allen.
Their efforts have been focused on bolstering the offense, evident in their signings of D'Andre Swift and Gerald Everett, as well as the acquisition of star receiver Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers. This flurry of activity has generated excitement among Bears fans and newcomers like Caleb Williams alike.
However, the Bears' front office faces a pivotal decision regarding Allen's future, as he enters the final year of his four-year, $80 million contract extension signed in 2020 with the Chargers.
When questioned about a potential extension for Allen at the owners' meetings on Monday, Bears general manager Ryan Poles offered an encouraging response, fueling optimism among fans.
While Poles didn't reveal all his plans, the Bears are likely to prioritize retaining Allen if he maintains his high level of performance from his time with the Chargers. Despite being 31 years old, Allen's stellar 2023 season�featuring 108 receptions, 1,243 yards, and eight touchdowns�demonstrates his enduring value.
It may be challenging for Allen to replicate such production in his debut season with the Bears, given the presence of D.J. Moore. Nonetheless, this depth at the receiver position presents a welcome dilemma for the Bears as they aim for success.
