Keenan Allen Makes His Opinion of Colts HC Shane Steichen Very Clear

Keenan Allen officially signed with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, securing his new team ahead of his 14th NFL season.

Keenan Allen officially joined the Indianapolis Colts in a significant move for the team as he formally signed with them on Wednesday. The New England-based wide receiver is set to begin his 14th season in the NFL with his new team. Allen's decision to sign with the Colts was heavily influenced by his relationship with head coach Shane Steichen.

Allen expressed his admiration for Steichen, stating that his approach to the game sets him apart and that he knows the game as well as Allen does. Allen's tenure with the Chargers ended in 2025 when he moved to the Chicago Bears, making his return to the Colts a return to a familiar environment. He will now be part of a pass-catching trio alongside Alec Pierce and Josh Downs, as well as star tight end Tyler Warren.

The Colts kicked off their 2026 regular-season schedule with a Week 1 game against the Baltimore Ravens on September 13th.
