The Chicago Bears are 4-8 on the season after they've dropped six straight games. One of the worst losses of the season came on Thanksgiving Day, where the Bears lost to the Detroit Lions 23-20, in large part to Matt Eberflus' time management blunder.

That was his final game as the head coach, as the Bears handed over the job to Thomas Brown, making him the interim coach.

The next five games are an audition for Brown, but the attention of many teams around the league is on the offseason and the 2025 season.

Bleacher Report dropped an article discussing potential free agency moves for all 32 teams. In that piece, they suggested that Denver Broncos sign receiver Keenan Allen.

Allen came over to the Windy City back in March in exchange for a 2024 fourth-round pick. When he was acquired, there was hope that he would be a serious contributor to the offense, but that hasn't been the case. The 32-year-old hasn't been a bad player but isn't producing at the level many expected.

In 10 games, he's snagged 44 catches (79 targets) for 441 yards and five touchdowns. The Cal product is going to be a free agent, and there's a great chance that the Bears won't re-sign a 32-year-old WR.

If he does join the Broncos, he would be a good fit in the offense run by Bo Nix and Sean Payton. That duo has shown tremendous growth together this season and appears to get better with each week.

Nix is completing 63% of his throws for 2,842 yards for 17 passing yards. Adding a weapon like Allen into the fold would be a good addition to that team.

As for the Bears, they still have DJ Moore and Rome Odunze as quality WRs on the team so they won't need to pay a 32-year-old weapon.
