Washington Commanders cut Pro Bowl DT Jonathan Allen
The Washington Commanders released two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen on Friday.
The Washington Commanders released two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen on Friday. The team had granted him permission to seek a trade but decided to cut him when a trade partner didn’t materialize.
Allen was due a $15.5 million base salary in 2025. By releasing him, the Commanders saved $16.3 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap.
The Alabama product will look to rebound after a torn pectoral muscle derailed his season in 2024. Team officials initially expected the injury to keep him sidelined, but Allen returned for the playoff run.
In eight games last season, Allen recorded 19 tackles and three sacks.
