Keenan Allen said this week he will play against the Broncos as he has over $1 million in bonuses on the line.<\/p>\n
With nine more receiving yards, he can add $250K more. <\/p>\n
And with two touchdowns, he can throw on an additional quarter of a million dollars.<\/p>\n
Allen had some fun about the possibility of the cash with backup quarterback Trey Lance, who will be starting in place of Justin Herbert at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.<\/p>\n

Keena Allen can get over $1 million if he records six catches for nine yards against Denver.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey Trey we get this six we going out to eat bro,\u201d Allen said to the Chargers signal-caller, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n
\u201cI need a new car,\u201d Lance responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cS\u2013t,\u201d Allen fired back. \u201cI might need to sit this one out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allen has played in all 16 Chargers games this season, logging 74 catches for 741 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Totaling nine more receiving yards shouldn\u2019t be an issue for Allen, as he\u2019s topped that mark in every game so far. <\/p>\n
The six catches, though, might be a little tougher, as he\u2019s only reached that plateau three times.<\/p>\n
If Allen goes completely off against Denver\u2019s secondary, he can reach another $500,000 by securing 134 receiving yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Kickoff is slated for 4:25 p.m. ET, and while the Chargers are playing for nothing more than wild-card seeding, Allen\u2019s clearly got far more at stake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With a potential massive payday on the line, Keenan Allen said this week he will not be one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":649010,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2064],"tags":[1443,241,7,1328,1014,262,2444,2443,6,9],"class_list":{"0":"post-649009","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-chargers","8":"tag-california","9":"tag-chargers","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-keenan-allen","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","14":"tag-losangeles","15":"tag-losangeleschargers","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115827553481962005","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=649009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/649009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=649009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=649009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=649009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
