8 Bears Entering Their Final Season With Chicago

5. Keenan Allen , WR

Allen has been one of the NFL's best receivers for the last decade. His crispy route-running, paired with his 6'2 frame make him a quarterback's best friend. He becomes even more valuable when you have a young quarterback learning the ropes which is exactly what the Bears have in Caleb Williams.

Allen is coming off statistically his best season in the NFL where he caught 108 balls for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns. The question is not if he can play or not, but rather what the Bears have outside of him and his age.

He will be 33 years old next season going into camp and for a guy who seemingly misses time every year with injury, his age is not going to do him any favors. The hope is that top-10 pick Rome Odunze develops nicely and can become the true number one or two receiver on this offense with D.J. Moore, who recently signed an extension.

If Odunze shows an upside this year, which everyone believes to be the case, I don't see a world where you pay Allen big money after extending Moore and knowing Odunze will need his down the road. Allen will likely be looking for one more big payday and that won't be with the Bears.
