Veteran WR Keenan Allen remains a free agent after returning to the Chargers for his 13th season in 2025. Appearing on the Up & Adams show , Chargers GM Joe Hortiz wouldn’t close the door on bringing Allen back for 2026. He said he’s had communication with Allen’s representatives, but was clear they want to allow their young players to grow and develop. Allen, 34, is a former third-round pick of the Chargers back in 2013. He was entering the final year of his five-year, $46.671 million contract that included $20 million guaranteed when the Chargers signed him to a four-year, $80 million extension.

He made a base salary of $18,100,000 for the 2024 season, the final year of his contract and then signed a one-year deal back with the Chargers for 2025.
