The veteran receiver is an intriguing possibility for the Steelers. But Bleacher Report predicting Pittsburgh to express interest in signing Allen assumes that the wideout will reach free agency.

Allen conveyed on December 8 that he’d prefer that not to happen.

“Yeah,” Allen responded to a question about whether he wants to come back to the Bears in 2025. “Absolutely.”

Money, though, could determine whether Allen returns to Chicago. Spotrac projected the veteran receiver to possess a market value of about $33.1 million on his next contract. That would give Allen an average annual salary of $16.6 million.

That’s expensive based on Allen’s production this season. But the Bears have the salary cap space for Allen. Spotrac estimated Chicago is roughly $82.2 million under the salary cap for 2025.

The Steelers have an estimated $57.2 million in cap space for next season. However, they will have to sign a quarterback before targeting any free agents.
