Bears Commanders Linked In Massive Trade Proposal.
Star Defensive Tackle Jonathan Allen Could Generate A Big Return In A Trade, And Washington Could Consider Dealing The Two-Time Pro Bowler.
The Washington Commanders are not outwardly interested in a Jonathan Allen trade, but that could change after June 1st. While the star defensive tackle is still one of the better players on the team, the former first-round pick and two-time Pro Bowler might not fit in Washington’s timeline. Now entering his age-29 season, age might catch up to Allen before the rebuilding Commanders are ready to compete. With that in mind, Washington could sell high on their star veteran and help restock the cupboard with young players who could grow with the team.
As of this posting, Jonathan Allen carries a $21.4 million cap hit that will only free up $9.4 million in trade. However, if Washington deals him after June 1st, they can clear $15.4 million off their books. Bleacher Report believes that Washington will find a suitor and that the Chicago Bears could give up a second-round pick for the two-time Pro Bowler.
Bears, Commanders Could Agree to Jonathan Allen Trade
After failing to get results with subpar talent over the past two seasons, Matt Eberflus will show what he can do with a winning-caliber roster. Caleb Williams will be an upgrade on Justin Fields, Chicago’s receivers have game-breaking potential, and the defense has playmakers at every level. What they lack, however, is a dominant defensive tackle, but they could get one with a Jonathan Allen trade.
