He was a good player but we needed more. Best wishes. Thank you for missing a punch that would have TKO'd Payne on the sideline

Lol...I was at that game. The Osa rumors make sense now.

osa doesnt solve the run game issue but he is a decent DT

looks like allen is going to be cut

Commanders top free-agent target is obvious after Jonathan Allen trade demand

The Commanders must replace Jonathan Allen effectively this offseason.

Pending Jonathan Allen trade split cements Commanders' business-first mindset

It's nothing personal, just business.

Going to need two edge setting DEs for that and maybe a sideline to sideline MLB. Love Wagner though.

AP doing AP things.

sorry to see Allen go, but not that sorry. He was a very good DT a few years ago, but I dont think the Dline was markedly worse when he was injured, or really that good when he wasnt.

Sheldon Day and the other long haired DT not named Newton made as many plays as Allen did, at a fraction of the cost.

Not personal, big Jon, just business.

Unless he wants to restructure….

They should be able to get something for him with no money left on the deal, and he can play.

Keim said a 6th

JP speculated Allen and a 6th for a 4th. Deep DT class this year.

In the end I think he gets cut

There is some Allen to the Vikings smoke out there. Nothing I trust enough to post.

I'm unsure if they can get anything for Allen except more relief. While another player or a draft pick seems to be the focus, the real value of this move is economics. Let's remember Allen was a first-round draft pick (17th overall in 2017) and his ROI of late is sliding towards overpayment. That said, Washington would be in line to gain an additional $16.3M on their cap if he's traded or released.

So my question(s) for you guys, and lady is... is he worth the cost at this stage of his career? (He's 30)

Would he become more valuable if, after testing the market, he'd be willing to play for less money?

How much would be reasonable?

If you restructure you turn money into guaranteed . This is a deep DT draft so hope for a trade but be prepared to release

Got it, but I was thinking more in line with Allen being released, then going unsigned anywhere else and signing a new contract here at the lowered price.
I know there are a lot of "if's" in this scenario, but if it works out that way, he would certainly be motivated to put in a great seasonal effort.

Odds are he gets cut. I don't see him on the roster week one.
