The news broke Tuesday morning, and was confirmed by Commanders GM Adam Peters around lunchtime during his Combine presser: Washington has given DT Jonathan Allen and his representatives permission to seek a trade.
Allen is entering the final year of his deal in 2025, which would pay him $15.5 million base but give the Commanders $16.5 million in cap savings with a $6 million dead cap charge if he is moved, and Peters said he wanted to ‘do right’ by Allen in exploring all possibilities.
Take a listen above and below to reactions from The Sports Junkies, BMitch & Finlay, and Kevin Sheehan before Peters’ presser, and then Grant & Danny, Chris Russell, and Craig Hoffman after!
