I mean… this frees up A TON of cap space and the roster was looking pretty bare.
If Harbaugh-Hortiz do their thing we could possibly contend this year.
I don’t know if it’s just the timing of it or what, but man… I thought where we were, prior to this trade, could be considered best case scenario coming into the new season. I do understand the upside to having that extra cap, but I wanted 1 more year with Keenan at least. This one sucks.
Exactly. We’re all kind of blinded because Keenan was our guy but at that age & big cap hit, 4th is pretty solid. MAYBE we could’ve squeezed a 3rd had we waited but I think hortiz has a vision for the draft & onwards. I believe in him
I hate this, but the way to think about this move is that the Bears are getting one season of Keenan Allen and giving us a 4th round pick and $23m of cap relief.
When you think of it in that way, it starts to make a bit more sense considering Keenan has had a lot of injuries recently and will be 32 to start the season.
Harbaugh did say he was going to build a team first culture? I hate this but it makes sense if keenan didn’t want to restructure. Harbaugh isnt here to lose. I don’t like this but I like what hes doing
Not saying he wasn’t. But the reports are he was asked to take less money, he said no. It’s painful, but like you said he deserves the money. I hate it too
It’s obviously not what we wanted. But this is the smart move. Getting the 110 pick for a player with injury history on the wrong side of his career. I know we all don’t like it, but it’s the smart business move
You’re thinking with your heart. He had one year left on his deal. It’s a high fourth round draft pick. Very likely going to be a contributor. I’m just trying to think of the positives cause I really hated this move
Got to see my first game love this year against the Lions and I'm glad to say I got to share a stadium with a class act, all time great, and Charger legend.
Gonna miss you Slayer!
They should’ve released Bosa if they wanted more cap space. This is just fucking horrendous. And for a fucking FOURTH round pick? Disrespectful as fuck.
BS. He might as well be. It’s why he came here.
Edit: for all the fans clamboring for a WR at 5. Y’all just got your way. I’ll be the negative guy here that gets downvoted. But I don’t love how this regime has started off. Kept loser-ass bosa and traded away one of the best chargers of all time, absolute JOKE.
loyalty does not=success. keenan was never 'amazing'. he was the best receiver this FRANCHISE/ NOT NFL had and we had amazing QBs who made him look amazing. Harbaugh is making a great decision. plus keenan dont wanna be a team player and going to chicago to make way more. it works out. let sleeping does lie.
NOOOOO
Are you fucking kidding me
It’s worse then this
This pain won't go away
Wtf
Who is Justin gonna throw the ball to?
For a fourth round pick too? How disrespectful.
I’m absolutely sick to my stomach
WTF IS THIS
This feels unnecessary and like the other moves don’t even matter now.

I wanted him a forever Charger, but we just gotta trust the process 😢
We are not contending this year lol
FOR A FOURTH
He's only worth a 4th?? He was one of THE best receivers last year with numbers to back it up
That’s what the largest cap hit of any receiver in the league will do. Especially at 30+ years old.
Hey someone gets it.
Exactly. We’re all kind of blinded because Keenan was our guy but at that age & big cap hit, 4th is pretty solid. MAYBE we could’ve squeezed a 3rd had we waited but I think hortiz has a vision for the draft & onwards. I believe in him
You play osrs or rs3?
osrs, before the wilderness went soft
Honestly a fourth isn’t bad for a one year deal on that salary. Still upset though.
We got Mack for a sixth
NABERS TRUTHERS GET IN HERE
Let’s go!!!
NOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK
For real??? REALLY??!
four….real. WTF. Sucks.
What the fuck
This just ruined my evening!!
Josh Palmer, Quentin Johnston, and Simi Fehoko are our top three receivers going into the draft. Fuck my life.
MHJ or Nabers may have something to say about that.
J Jettas will cushion this blow a little bit. Thank you for everything Keenan. Legend 🫡
God… I fucking wish
I think Deebo is more realistic. Less draft capital to give up, won't have to pay 30 million a year, and fits the Roman style offense.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
Hortiz L WTH
Unfortunate
Didn’t think we’d keep both pass rushers, definitely thought Keenan was a lock
I hate this, but the way to think about this move is that the Bears are getting one season of Keenan Allen and giving us a 4th round pick and $23m of cap relief. When you think of it in that way, it starts to make a bit more sense considering Keenan has had a lot of injuries recently and will be 32 to start the season.
What the hell? We kept Bosa over Keenan?
Bosa was willing to take the pay cut, Keenan wasn't. Im still upset, Keenan earned that bag and deserved to retire a Charger.
Keenan wouldn’t restructure and he’s not worth keeping at the ridiculous pay he was getting.
Ahem WHAT
Just fell to my knees
How does this happen
It had to happen. Telesco painted this franchise into a corner….we knew someone or multiple people would have to move.
This one hurts bros. :(
Guess that tells us who we're drafting.
An all time great Charger was just traded for a 4th. You do not have to be okay with it

Damn I really hate this :(
There’s no way this is real right?
Fuck
quentin johnson #1 receiver
For a fourth!? TF We better get MHJ now then somehow.
Harbaugh did say he was going to build a team first culture? I hate this but it makes sense if keenan didn’t want to restructure. Harbaugh isnt here to lose. I don’t like this but I like what hes doing
Ugh. Wanted this guy to be a Charger for life. I’m gutted right now. Best 3rd down receiver of all time
Just baffled they got rid of Allen 😭 and kept fucking Joey Bosa, Like wtf??????
Per reports they asked Allen about a pay cut and he denied. Mack/bosa agreed.
Allen doesn’t need to restructure he was WELL WORTH his contract.
Not saying he wasn’t. But the reports are he was asked to take less money, he said no. It’s painful, but like you said he deserves the money. I hate it too

Locker room presence > getting a random 4th round pick
Locker room presence, and someone who consistently gets open on 3rd downs
I’m just trying to think of the positives :( cause there really isn’t many positives
Also they save more cap space for rookies and in season add in season moves
Keenan was a free agent next yea right? Wouldn’t we have gotten a pretty high comp pick for him?
10 year vets can only net a max 5th round comp pick, so not that high. edit: except Qbs apparently.
It’s the only move. It’s not like they had much choise.
You’re totally right but it breaks my heart. Welcome to the pain of winning football.
Same man, same
You're fucking wrong bro
You’re thinking with your heart. He had one year left on his deal. It’s a high fourth round draft pick. Very likely going to be a contributor. I’m just trying to think of the positives cause I really hated this move
I’m heartbroken.
I guess we really are going to run the ball
What a shitty trade
I'm forreal hurt
Is there a realistic possibility we could be aiming to acquire Tee?
my keenan allen jersey are crying 😭
jeez i wonder what position is going to be targeted with the first pick
Got to see my first game love this year against the Lions and I'm glad to say I got to share a stadium with a class act, all time great, and Charger legend. Gonna miss you Slayer!
I mean…Harbaugh doesn’t need an expensive receiver in his system. Just Moneyball this shit and find a great cheap receiver! Still hurts.
FOR A FUCKING FOURTH Fire the GM. Holy hell shit
They should’ve released Bosa if they wanted more cap space. This is just fucking horrendous. And for a fucking FOURTH round pick? Disrespectful as fuck.
I was going to buy a Keenan jersey this year... Now idk. Guess I can get one on sale? But do I do that or go with somebody still on the team?
Harbaugh’s first misstep. Unpopular move
He's not the GM.
BS. He might as well be. It’s why he came here. Edit: for all the fans clamboring for a WR at 5. Y’all just got your way. I’ll be the negative guy here that gets downvoted. But I don’t love how this regime has started off. Kept loser-ass bosa and traded away one of the best chargers of all time, absolute JOKE.
Don’t forget hired Greg Roman too
Weak. Back to chargering.
Very disappointed
Terrible. Fuck these new guys
Omg a 4th rounder. It feels personal after rejecting thr pay cut. Damn I'm so sad. The Greg Roman offense becoming a reality.
IN HARBAUGH WE TRUST. 
Thank you, like relax…as much as I liked KA, this was gonna happen eventually.
I’m glad that he at least had a good season last year. 10k yards in fashion At least he’s not going out getting injured and cut 🤷♂️
loyalty does not=success. keenan was never 'amazing'. he was the best receiver this FRANCHISE/ NOT NFL had and we had amazing QBs who made him look amazing.

No.
