Free agent wide receiver Keenan Allen<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Rams<\/a> are looking for another Super Bowl run with Matthew Stafford<\/a> at quarterback before the quarterback decides to call it a career.<\/p>\n

LA has made some acquisitions on the defensive side of the ball, but it is never a bad idea to get the MVP-winning quarterback another weapon.<\/p>\n

Stafford has two Pro Bowlers as his receiving options, with the Rams having the opportunity to add another under co-offensive coordinators Nate Scheelhaase and Dave Ragone.<\/p>\n

Rams Named Spot for Six-Time Pro Bowler\"Keenan<\/p>\n

Matthew Stafford led the Los Angeles Rams to the best passing offense in the 2025 season and the team could add another member to his receiving core to help elevate an already good position group.<\/p>\n

LA averaged 268.1 passing yards per game and could add a six-time Pro Bowler to the offense.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report\u2019s Gary Davenport listed the best remaining free agents on the market and which teams they can help<\/a> in the 2026 season, with the writer listing wide receiver Keenan Allen<\/a> as the best fit for Sean McVay and co.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Los Angeles Rams have one of the most loaded rosters in the NFL<\/a> on paper. They already addressed arguably their biggest need in the offseason, swinging a trade [for cornerback] Trent McDuffie<\/a> to Los Angeles. The Rams also have one of the best one-two punches in the league at wide receiver in Puka Nacua<\/a> and Davante Adams<\/a>,\u201d Davenport wrote. \u201cThe team could use an upgrade at the third wideout spot, though, and there are some veterans still looking for work who would fit that bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKeenan Allen has reportedly indicated that if he plays at all in 2026, he wants it to be for the [Los Angeles] Chargers<\/a>. But he might reconsider if he can stay in L.A.\u2014and potentially have an even better shot at a Super Bowl than he would with the Bolts\u2026 The 33-year-old hasn\u2019t had a 1,000-yard season since 2023, but as his 81 catches for 777 yards last year indicate, he can still add value to an NFL offense as an underneath target.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nacua and Adams were the obvious first and second options for MVP Matthew Stafford, accounting for more than half of the quarterbacks\u2019 throwing yards and touchdown passes.<\/p>\n

Xavier Smith<\/a>, the next best receiver on the roster, recorded 303 receiving yards in the 2025 season, over 400 yards less than what Adams totaled in his first season with the Rams.<\/p>\n

Allen had a better season than the bottom four wide receivers on the Rams\u2019 offense and had an equivalent season to Adams in terms of receiving yards, just minus 10 touchdown receptions.<\/p>\n

Going from Justin Herbert<\/a> to Matthew Stafford isn\u2019t a bad option for Keenan Allen\u2019s career and it puts him on a roster that has one of the best chances to win the Super Bowl next season.<\/p>\n

Why Keenan Allen Won\u2019t Fit with the Rams\"Los<\/p>\n

The 2025 season saw the Los Angeles Rams use the 13-man personnel (1 running back and 3 tight ends) the most in the league.<\/p>\n

After Davante Adams, four of the next six performing receiving options were tight ends.<\/p>\n

Tyler Higbee<\/a> returned to the team on a two-year deal after mulling retirement, signaling that the Rams will continue using the scheme, which means Keenan Allen would get fewer snaps if he were to sign with the organization.<\/p>\n

But if Sean McVay and the new offensive coordinators create a new scheme and use the 13-man personnel less, then the Rams would have one of the best receiving trios in the league.<\/p>\n
