All signs point to star receiver Keenan Allen sticking with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023.

Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said on "Good Morning Football" that there has been "no thought" of moving on from Allen, according to Will Selva of NFL Network.

"Keenan Allen, he's our Andre Reed. He's our Charlie Joiner," Telesco noted. "We're thrilled with Keenan."

The 30-year-old wideout accounts for a $21.7-million cap hit in 2023. Releasing Allen would net the Chargers $14.8 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap. Los Angeles is roughly $20 million over the salary cap.

Allen has played all 10 of his NFL seasons with the Chargers and has been their top wideout. He saw a streak of five consecutive Pro Bowl invites come to an end in 2022 after injuries limited him to just 66 catches for 752 yards over 10 games.
