Keenan Allen Reportedly Traded to 49ers From Colts at NFL Deadline, Updated Depth Chart, Salary Cap

The Indianapolis Colts have reportedly traded wide receiver Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers for a sixth-round draft pick, per ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Allen offers immediate help to a 49ers' wide receiver room that has unfortunately been hit hard with injuries.

Here's a preview of what the 49ers' updated depth chart could look like after the Allen trade, alongside what's listed via Ourlads.

• QB: Brock Purdy, Mac Jones
• RB: Christian McCaffrey, Kaelon Black
• FB: Kyle Juszczyk
• WR (X): Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson
• WR (Z and Slot): Deebo Samuel Sr., Keenan Allen, De'Zhaun Stribling, Jordan Watkins
• TE: George Kittle, Luke Farrell
• LT: Trent Williams, Enrique Cruz Jr.
• LG: Connor Colby, Carver Willis
• C: Jake Brendel, Jarrett Patterson
• RG: Dominick Puni
• RT: Colton McKivitz, Vederian Lowe

The 49ers were listed as having $35.2 million in cap space before the trade, per Over the Cap. Allen signed a one-year, $3.3 million contract with the Colts last offseason. In sum, San Francisco has plenty of cap room to add Allen, and it might be a bargain all things considered.

The 34-year-old Allen has played 14 NFL seasons for the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers, Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts. He's a six-time Pro Bowler with five 100-reception campaigns and five 1,000-yard seasons.

In eight games with the Colts, Allen caught 40 passes for 351 yards and one touchdown.

Now he joins a 49ers team that is very much in position to make a Super Bowl run. Allen provides a much-needed reinforcement in the wideout room.

San Francisco got this deal done just in time prior to the 4 p.m. trade deadline on Tuesday. One can presume Allen should be in line to make his San Francisco debut on Sunday at the Dallas Cowboys.
