The San Francisco 49ers just upgraded the wide receivers room.
Keenan Allen is reportedly headed to the 49ers from the Colts in a trade that NFL insider Tom Pelissero reports (via Twitter/X) will net Indianapolis a 2027 sixth-round pick.
2026 NFL TRADE DEADLINE TRACKER — WITH LIVE UPDATES
Allen has 40 catches, 351 receiving yards, and 1 touchdown this season. Those numbers could see an uptick by joining the offensive scheme of 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan and catching passes from 2023 Pro Bowler Brock Purdy. Meanwhile, the Colts’ teardown continues as another veteran presence is set to leave town.

Some notes and takeaways in the wake of the reports of a Keenan Allen trade:
A Day 3 pick seems to be the going rate for veteran help on the trade market. Edge help (although that got nixed for an odd reason) and secondary targets on the Chicago Bears’ radar shouldn’t cost more than that, so I hope this front office is willing to draw a line in the sand and not be taken to the woodshed just because they have needs. Making a deal for the sake of making one never sits right with me.EVERYTHING BEARS FANS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 2026 NFL TRADE DEADLINE
When I saw that Keenan Allen was getting traded, a part of me felt good about it. If you recall, Allen played one season with the Bears. That 2024 campaign was mostly forgettable and regrettable. But Allen caught 70 passes, picked up 744 receiving yards, and scored 7 touchdowns. He hit it off with quarterback Caleb Williams as a rookie and is still publicly supportive of Chicago’s QB1. “Once a Bear, always a Bear” … right?REMEMBER THIS?

But then I saw that it was the 49ers getting Allen, which made the move sting. Because while I do like seeing ex-Bears prosper elsewhere, the Niners and Bears appear to be on a collision course to meet in the NFC playoffs. When the dust settled on Week 9 of the NFL season, San Francisco and Chicago were in possession of the top two seeds in the conference playoffs. The season doesn’t end today. But if it did, we’d be talking about a potential Bears-49ers NFC title game bout — and it wouldn’t be a total pipe dream!MORE: Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is Playing the Waiting Game
At a minimum, I wish Keenan Allen good health when he joins San Francisco’s squad. That wide receivers room has been dealing with a plethora of injuries at the position. Mike Evans (Achilles, ribs) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) have missed recent games. Christian Kirk (meniscus) and De’Zhaun Stribling are on injured reserve. Ricky Pearsall (knee injury) is out for the season. Not even Dejan Love (a man who was charged with defrauding women while posing as a 49ers player) is going to be around to lend a helping hand.All jokes aside, it has been a tough year to be a receiver on the 49ers. To be 7-1 with an offense that has gained the sixth-most yards and scored the third-most points despite having so much uncertainty among the pass catchers is impressive. And it’s not as if the Niners are an offense-only team. That defense has allowed the sixth-fewest points and third-fewest yards. But despite the injury issues, they’re still sitting atop the NFC playoff picture and just added a sure-handed pass-catcher for their stretch run. It makes me want to see the Bears add some quality cornerback help before the 3 p.m. CT deadline.
