Stefon Diggs, Brandon Aiyuk over and over....
That's what we have heard, read, and watched since the draft regarding the Washington Commanders. The consensus was that the Commanders would sign one of these two receivers. Well, there is still another receiver out there who remains unsigned and available. That receiver is Kennan Allen.
Allen turned 34 in April, and perhaps that might be the chief reason Allen remains unsigned. Allen has remained one of the more respected receivers in the NFL for some time regarding his value to the locker room. It would be interesting to learn if 'diva' and Keenan Allen have ever been used in the same sentence.
Listed at 6'2", 211 pounds, Allen has been able to adeptly use his size over his 171 NFL regular season games. Allen appears to have lost a step, as his yards per reception were down to 9.6 in 2025. Yes, that is one side of the coin why Allen may not be signed (age 34, only 9.6 YPR). Yet the other side of that same coin is that Allen remained durable, playing in all 17 games in 2025 and hauling in 81 receptions last season.
But then, given who the Commanders already have, they may not be interested in Allen. If they want a receiver with size, they already have Treylon Burks. In fact, Burks is also 6'2" and is bigger than Allen at 225 pounds. Secondly, Burks is younger, much younger, having turned 26 back in April. No, Burks is not going to accomplish what Allen has (1,055 receptions for 12,051 yards, 70 touchdown receptions).
