Chargers open up on the realities of the Keenan Allen trade

Amidst rumors making the rounds of the transfer trades, Keenan Allen’s departure from the LA Chargers has been marred by controversy. One central point of contention concerns the details of the contract negotiations. The Chargers’ general manager initially stated that the team presented “multiple different options” to Allen. This implies a degree of flexibility in their approach.

However, Allen’s agent, Joby Branion, swiftly refused this claim by the team. According to him, they were saying that only one offer was made, and that too with a pay cut for the legendary wide receiver. They offered him a 2-year contract with a pay cut. As these new terms were revealed and rejected, the Chargers traded him for the Bears.

In a statement, Branion clarified, “To be clear, only one offer was made… We made a counteroffer. It was rejected. Then we were informed of the Chargers’ intention to trade Keenan Allen.” This revelation sheds light on the significant gap between the Chargers’ and Allen’s stories, understanding their negotiations and highlighting how different narratives often build up in these high-profile trades and transfers.
