The 49ers Acquire WR Keenan Allen From the Colts, AP Source Says
The move gives San Francisco an experienced target as injuries have thinned its receiving corps and leaves Indianapolis with another future draft pick.
- 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.
