{"id":2237,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/2237","headline":"49ers acquire Keenan Allen from Colts for a sixth-round pick","dek":"The six-time Pro Bowler leaves a 2-7 Colts team for the NFC West-leading 49ers, who keep stacking their receiver room instead of fixing the defense.","body":"The Indianapolis Colts have traded wide receiver Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers for a sixth-round pick, continuing their roster fire sale during a 2-7 season. Allen led the Colts in targets with 58 and receptions with 40, adding 351 receiving yards and one touchdown across eight games after signing a one-year deal with the team in the offseason.\n\nFor the 49ers, it is another addition to an offense that is not short on weapons. Allen joins Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle, with San Francisco's attack already ranked third in the league in scoring at 29.4 points per game and sixth in total yards at 376.8 per game. The move comes amid injury concerns at receiver, giving the 49ers more depth as they push through the stretch run.\n\nSan Francisco sits at 7-1, the top seed in the NFC, leading the NFC West by two games. The deal fits a pattern for a team that keeps adding proven veteran pass catchers rather than spending resources on the defensive side, leaving the unit's younger players to carry the load down the stretch.","published_at":"2026-11-10T23:19:43.452764+00:00","source_count":6,"written_from":[{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"49ers add Keenan Allen, but no more trades on defense.
