The Washington Commanders are heading into the offseason with a plan to build on last year's unexpected run to the NFC Championship game. One prediction has them landing one of the top pass rushers in the AFC.

Allen was a former No. 17 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, having won a national championship with the Alabama Crimson Tide. He's been nothing short of productive in Washington, racking up 401 tackles and 42 sacks in his eight-year career, being named to the Pro Bowl in both 2021 and 2022.

USA Today's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz predicts the Washington Commanders could cut veteran DT Jonathan Allen in a salary cap move.

With a costly cap hit and a potential replacement waiting, the Commanders must decide whether to retain Jonathan Allen or move on to save $16.47 million.
