Signed wide receiver Keenan Allen. Traded to the Bears prior to the 2024 season, Allen reunites with the franchise that drafted him after signing a one-year deal with the Chargers last week. His return helps the depth of a Chargers wide receiver room that lost Mike Williams to retirement in mid-July.

Coincidentally, both have since reunited with the Chargers after their one-year departures, though Williams retired on the first day of training camp, ushering in a reunion with Allen. Nonetheless, the Chargers have a competition between the two upstarts.
