The 49ers Acquire WR Keenan Allen From the Colts, AP Source Says
The move gives San Francisco depth at receiver while Indianapolis continues a deadline sell-off after dealing its top two wideouts.
- On Tuesday, the San Francisco 49ers acquired veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter.
- San Francisco's pursuit of a wideout follows injuries sidelining starting receivers Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel, plus rookie De'Zhaun Stribling; the 49ers hold the best NFC record at 7-1 despite the depth losses.
- Allen, a 34-year-old in his 14th NFL season, recorded 40 catches for 351 receiving yards and one touchdown with the Colts. He previously played for the Chargers and Chicago Bears.
- The Colts continue their roster overhaul, as Allen is the third high-profile player traded by Indianapolis; the team previously dealt Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner.
- Allen is scheduled to become a free agent in 2027, making this a short-term acquisition for San Francisco's postseason push. Deebo Samuel may return as early as Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.
