The New Orleans Saints have reshaped their offense this offseason, but one notable veteran remains available on the free-agent market. According to Bleacher Report, the Saints stand out as the best potential landing spot for six-time Pro Bowl wide receiverKeenan Allen.

The biggest reason for that connection is Saints head coachKellen Moore. Moore and Allen spent the 2023 season together with theLos Angeles Chargers, where Moore served as offensive coordinator and Allen posted one of the best years of his career, hauling in 108 receptions for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns despite appearing in just 13 games.

For New Orleans, the 34-year-old would provide a different element than what's already on the roster.Chris Olaveremains the Saints' top explosive playmaker, while first-round rookieJordyn Tysonadds another dynamic weapon to the unit. Allen could thrive as an over the middle target and trusted third-down option, givingTyler Shougha proven veteran capable of consistently moving the chains and creating separation in critical situations.

The Saints have already invested heavily in surrounding Shough with talent, and bringing in Allen would further strengthen a revamped offense while reuniting him with the coach who helped oversee one of the most productive seasons of his career. Whether New Orleans ultimately makes the move remains to be seen, but the familiarity between Allen and Moore makes the Saints a logical destination as training camp approaches.
