Colts Mulling Veteran WR Additions: Allen or Samuel?
16 Jun
Summary
- Colts considering veteran receivers Keenan Allen and Deebo Samuel.
- Michael Pittman Jr. was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Alec Pierce and Daniel Jones' new contracts impacted roster decisions.
The Indianapolis Colts are exploring the possibility of signing veteran wide receivers Keenan Allen and Deebo Samuel. This potential move comes in the wake of trading Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team's receiver depth has been impacted by this trade and ongoing contract considerations for players like Alec Pierce.
With current receiver options like Josh Downs and Tyler Warren, and the solid but not lead-caliber Ashton Dulin, the Colts appear to be looking for more established talent. The addition of a veteran like Allen, now in his 14th season, could provide guidance similar to Reggie Wayne's role, while Samuel's dynamic playmaking ability offers a different kind of impact.
While both Allen and Samuel are on the older side of their careers, their experience and unique skill sets are seen as valuable assets. The Colts may be weighing the potential benefits of adding either player to enhance their offensive capabilities for the upcoming season.
