The Arizona Cardinals have been linked to free agent wide receiver Keenan Allen throughout the offseason as they seek to bolster their receiving corps. The Cardinals made several moves, including re-signing Greg Dortch and acquiring Zay Jones and Quez Watkins, yet their wide receiver position appears underwhelming. Allen, who had a productive 2022 season with 70 receptions, 744 yards, and seven touchdowns, is now 33 years old and may not provide the downfield threat needed. His style is more akin to tight end Trey McBride, who already has the potential for significant receptions in a revamped offense.

The Cardinals seem to be banking on younger receivers like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson for increased production. The question remains whether Allen would be satisfied being the third or fourth option in this reshaped offense, and whether his veteran experience would ultimately enhance the team’s performance.
