The Bears were long-tipped to make a major trade to shake up their offense. Such a move finally materialized on Thursday, although it wasn’t quite what Chicagoans might’ve expected at the start of the offseason.

General manager Ryan Poles swung a major deal on Thursday, acquiring the services of six-time Pro Bowler Keenan Allen from the Chargers, per multiple reports.Allen has quietly been one of the most productive wideouts of his era, reeling in 904 passes for 10,530 yards and 59 touchdowns in 11 seasons under the California sun.
