Veteran receiver Keenan Allen has rejoined the Los Angeles Chargers after spending the 2024 season with the Chicago Bears.

The Chargers announced his return Tuesday evening. NFL Network reported Allen has agreed to a one-year, $8.52 million deal.

Allen was a six-time Pro Bowl selection during 11 seasons with the Chargers from 2013-23 -- the first four when the franchise was located in San Diego before the move to Los Angeles.

Allen ranks second in Chargers history with 904 receptions and 10,530 receiving yards, trailing Antonio Gates (955 and 11,841, respectively), in both categories. Allen (59) is third on the franchise's career receiving touchdowns list behind Gates (116) and fellow Hall of Famer Lance Alworth (81).

Allen, 33, ranks third among active NFL players with 974 receptions and has collected 100 or more catches on five occasions, including a team-record 108 in 2023. He is sixth among active players with 11,274 career receiving yards and eighth with 66 touchdown catches. He has played in 154 career NFL games.

Last season, Allen had 70 receptions for 744 yards and seven touchdowns for the Bears.
