Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz told reporters that the front office offered wide receiver Keenan Allen multiple contract options before trading him to the Chicago Bears on March 14, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
One of the reported options was an extension, although the two sides couldn't come to an agreement before the 31-year-old was moved in exchange for a 2024 fourth-round pick.
Allen revealed at his introductory press conference with Chicago that the Chargers asked him to take a pay cut before the trade occurred (h/t Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk).
