"One didn't have to look far across the media to see Nick Allegretti being touted as a possible cut candidate this offseason. His two years in Washington didn't go nearly as well as Biadasz's, as he was demoted from his preferred left guard position and benched just two games into his stint at right guard. However, his two games at center to end the season were apparently impressive enough for a much bigger vote of confidence."
"It appears as if the Commanders may be moving forward with Allegretti as their starting center. With such a small sample size, the risk is massive. But the versatile chess piece might be showing the coaching staff more than people realize. Allegretti is a two-time Super Bowl winner."
"Allegretti spent most of 2025 on the proverbial fringes, but he performed well when given center responsibilities after Biadasz ended the campaign injured. It seems as if that was all Washington needed to see for a longer-term commitment."
The Washington Commanders released center Tyler Biadasz after two seasons despite one year remaining on his contract, a move that puzzled fans. General manager Adam Peters subsequently signed Nick Allegretti to a two-year extension through 2027, indicating the team views him as their future starting center. Allegretti had struggled in his first two seasons, being demoted from left guard and benched at right guard, but impressed during limited appearances at center late in the season. Despite the small sample size and significant risk, the Commanders' commitment suggests the coaching staff sees potential in Allegretti's versatility and performance in his new position.
