Vikings' Jonathan Allen: Agrees to deal with Vikings
Jonathan Allen is signing a three-year, $60 million contract with the Minnesota Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The Commanders released Allen on Friday after he failed to generate trade interest on his old contract. His new deal isn't quite at the top of the market for defensive tackles, but it can't really be called a pay cut either. A pectoral tear limited the 30-year-old to eight games in his final season with the Commanders, but he had at least 5.5 sacks and 17 QB hits in each of the three preceding campaigns, maintaining a reputation as one of the league's more impactful interior pass rushers. Allen's work against the run has been less impressive, especially in recent years, but he's never lacked for tackles, topping 60 in six straight seasons before slumping to 53 in 2023 and then 19 in 2024 (301 snaps).

Commanders' Jonathan Allen: Hampered by injury in 2024
Jonathan Allen played in eight regular-season games in 2024, compiling 19 tackles (16 solo), including 3.0 sacks.Allen tore his left pectoral Week 6 against Baltimore and wasn't able to return to action until Week 17. When healthy, he worked as a starter and managed 3.0 sacks, and he logged his biggest workload of the campaign in Washington's NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles, tallying five tackles and recording a season-high 51 defensive snaps. Allen was a Pro Bowler in 2021 and 2022 but has been less productive in the subsequent two campaigns. He's signed through next season, but it's not a lock that the Washington Commanders will keep him around given that they could save $17 million in cap space by cutting him.
