The Washington Commanders have released two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, concluding his eight-year tenure with the team. This decision followed months of speculation, particularly after the team drafted Johnny Newton in the second round of the 2024 draft. With a significant salary cap charge of $22 million for the remaining contract year, the release allows the Commanders to save $16.5 million. General Manager Adam Peters acknowledged the tough nature of such decisions, emphasizing the importance of considering both team and player wellbeing amidst ongoing roster changes and imminent upgrades.
