Last season, the Chicago Bears traded for wide receiver Keenan Allen, and in one season with the team, Allen recorded 70 receptions for 744 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games.
Allen is now a free agent, and it doesn't seem likely that the Bears will bring him back for the upcoming season.
With Allen being a 33-year-old, there might only be a season or two left, and Cody Benjamin from CBS Sports thinks he could be a fit for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Age is not necessarily on Allen's side anymore; the longtime Los Angeles Chargers star is 33 and hasn't played a full NFL season in more than a half-decade," Benjamin wrote. "That shouldn't necessarily hold the Steelers up from courting him as an unsigned free agent, given their commitment to a 41-year-old Aaron Rodgers. Yes, Allen looked a step slow in his lone season with the Chicago Bears to start 2024, but he was a favorite target of Caleb Williams later on, and his expertise is quarterback-friendly route-running. He could make for a plug-and-play possession target."
The Steelers just signed 41-year-old quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and the team could use another target for him.

Allen could bring his veteran experience to Pittsburgh, and he and Rodgers could play one more season in the NFL and see if they can win a Super Bowl.
