Make California Post a Preferred Source The San Francisco 49ers acquired veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday, just a few hours before the NFL deadline.
The veteran wide receiver is a massive addition to a 49ers wide receiver room that has been marred by multiple injuries to key players this season.
The Colts are receiving a sixth-round pick in exchange for Allen, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Allen is familiar with the Bay Area, as he played college football at Cal Berkeley from 2010 to 2012.
And the 34-year-old’s wife, Ciandra Monique, is clearly excited about returning to the Bay.
“😎😎😎😎 / BACK TO DA BAYYYYY 🤪,” Ciandra wrote as a caption in an Instagram story she made on Tuesday, in the wake of the trade announcement.
She reposted ESPN’s graphic about the trade news and added “Yay Area” as a song by legendary Bay Area rapper and 49ers fan, E-40, as audio.
Keenan and Ciandra began dating in 2010 after they met in their hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina.
The couple got engaged on Ciandra’s birthday on May 26, 2017, and tied the knot on June 18, 2022, in San Clemente, California.
They currently have four children together, who will presumably be coming with their mom and dad to San Francisco.
