The Chicago Bears made a huge addition to their team this offseason, taking advantage of the Los Angeles Chargers’ tight cap situation by trading for wide receiver Keenan Allen. Los Angeles initially asked Allen to take a pay cut, but when the veteran declined, the team opted to trade him to clear the money.
Allen is entering the final year of his contract, set to make just over $23 million against the cap. At his introductory press conference, the veteran receiver explained what went through his mind when the Chargers asked him to take a pay cut.
“I’m not doing it,” Allen said, via Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times. “I just came off my best season.”
