The Commanders have allowed veteran defensive tackle Jonathan Allen to seek a trade as he enters the final year of his contract, which lacks guaranteed salary. At age 30, Allen's exit seems imminent, especially after the team's significant cap space decisions, including re-signing Daron Payne and drafting Johnny Newton. Allen's eight-year tenure marked him as a key player on the defensive line; however, injuries and new contracts signal a shift in team priorities. His performance, including career achievements, underscores his value, even as the team prepares for a future without him.
The Commanders have granted veteran defensive tackle Jonathan Allen permission to seek a trade, allowing him to find a new NFL home after eight years in Washington.
A trade or release would save the team about $16.5 million in salary cap space, further aiding their projected total of over $80 million to rework the roster.
