For the first time in his 12-year NFL career, Keenan Allen is set to become a free agent. Since he was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2013, Allen received contract extensions before he could become a free agent, and then was traded to the Chicago Bears last offseason for the final year of his current deal.

Allen will get the opportunity to test out the open market, but he's keeping his scope narrow. Allen has said he is interested in signing with the Bears, Los Angeles Rams, or Chargers in free agency. Though Allen is open to re-signing with the Bears, his interest will reportedly depend on the which head coach the Bears end up hiring. Per Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Allen wants a coach with experience.
