Washington Commanders grant Jonathan Allen permission to seek a trade
The Washington Commanders have granted two-time Pro Bowler Jonathan Allen permission to seek a trade due to team's strong depth at defensive tackle position. Allen, a team leader, played in eight regular-season games last season due to injury but returned for playoffs. His $15 million salary is not guaranteed, and he has a $22.3 million cap hit if on roster in 2025. Commanders have star Daron Payne under contract and drafted another DT, making Allen expendable.
