The Indianapolis Colts have reportedly signed wide receiver Keenan Allen to a one-year contract valued at up to $8.32 million. This move comes as the Colts look to strengthen their receiving corps, particularly with Alec Pierce sidelined. Allen, a six-time Pro Bowler, returns to work with head coach Shane Steichen, whom he previously played under with the LA Chargers from 2014 to 2020. During that time, he consistently surpassed 1,100 receiving yards in five of seven seasons. Allen's familiarity with the coaching staff is expected to facilitate his integration into the Colts' offense.
