The Los Angeles Rams are looking to make another Super Bowl run with Matthew Stafford at quarterback before he potentially retires. LA has already made some defensive acquisitions, but could look to add another receiving weapon to Stafford's arsenal, with veteran Keenan Allen being mentioned as a potential fit.

Why it matters

The Rams had the best passing offense in the NFL in 2025, but could still use an upgrade at the third wide receiver spot behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. Adding a six-time Pro Bowler like Allen could give Stafford another reliable target and elevate the Rams' already potent passing attack.

The details

The Rams averaged 268.1 passing yards per game in 2025 and could look to add Allen, who had 81 catches for 777 yards last season with the Chargers. While Allen has not had a 1,000-yard season since 2023, he could still provide value as an underneath target for Stafford. However, the Rams' heavy use of 13-man personnel (1 RB, 3 TEs) in 2025 may limit Allen's snaps if that scheme continues.

What they’re saying

“The Los Angeles Rams have one of the most loaded rosters in the NFL on paper. They already addressed arguably their biggest need in the offseason, swinging a trade [for cornerback] Trent McDuffie to Los Angeles. The Rams also have one of the best one-two punches in the league at wide receiver in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The 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.”

— Gary Davenport, Bleacher Report Writer

“Keenan Allen has reportedly indicated that if he plays at all in 2026, he wants it to be for the [Los Angeles] Chargers. But he might reconsider if he can stay in L.A.—and potentially have an even better shot at a Super Bowl than he would with the Bolts… The 33-year-old hasn't 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.”

— Gary Davenport, Bleacher Report Writer

The takeaway

The Rams have one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, but could look to add another veteran receiving threat to Matthew Stafford's arsenal as they aim for another Super Bowl run. Keenan Allen could be an intriguing fit, though the team's heavy use of tight ends may limit his snaps.
