‘Keenan Allen, to me, he’s our Andre Reed, he’s our Charlie Joiner,’ Telesco said, referring to the Hall of Fame wide receivers
Chargers general manager Tom Telesco made it clear Wednesday that cutting veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen was not the answer to the team’s significant salary-cap issues. The Chargers are $20 million over the cap and must make moves to get under it by a March 15 deadline.
“Keenan Allen, to me, he’s our Andre Reed, he’s our Charlie Joiner,” Telesco said during an interview with the NFL Network from the draft combine in Indianapolis. “He’s an incredible football player. We have a great quarterback and we need weapons around him. There’s never been any thought of that.”
“So, he’s with us,” Telesco said of Allen, a five-time Pro Bowl selection who has played each of his 10 seasons in the NFL with the Chargers. “And between him and Mike Williams and Josh Palmer, we think that’s a great three receivers for our quarterback. We have Austin Ekeler at running back. We have an offensive line that can protect . So, there are key weapons we need for our quarterback.
