Keenan Allen Re-Signs with Chargers
Introduction
After several weeks of uncertainty, Keenan Allen has reached an agreement to re-sign with the Los Angeles Chargers. The star wide receiver will once again don the blue and gold, much to the delight of fans and the Chargers organization.
Key Details
Allen's return is a major win for the Chargers, who were in danger of losing their top offensive weapon.
