Keenan Allen Open to Returning to Bears

Keenan Allen, the Chicago Bears' veteran wide receiver, has expressed a strong desire to return to the team next season after a challenging 2024 marked by coaching changes and close losses. He revealed that teammate DJ Moore is also eager for them to 'run it back' in 2025, though Allen's future with the Bears hinges on the team's performance in the remaining games and the direction they take in the offseason. Despite his interest in staying, Allen's impending free agency may complicate matters, particularly regarding contract negotiations and the Bears' need to address weaknesses in their offensive line. General Manager Ryan Poles faces pressure to balance re-signing Allen while improving the roster through free agency and the draft. Allen has also taken on a leadership role, effectively mentoring younger receivers amid the team's struggles. Overall, both Allen and Moore see potential for a more successful season if the Bears can secure the right coaching staff and roster adjustments.
