Mon Mar 10 16:30:00 UTC 2025: **Veteran Defensive Tackle Jonathan Allen Headed to Buffalo?**
BUFFALO, NY – Longtime Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, a 2017 first-round draft pick, is entering free agency after the Commanders released him. While several teams could be interested, Pro Football Network suggests the Buffalo Bills are a strong contender for Allen’s services.
Allen, who is due a $15.5 million base salary in the final year of his contract, was reportedly unable to secure a trade before free agency. Despite an injury-shortened 2024 season (eight games played due to a torn pectoral muscle), Allen boasts a strong track record, recording at least 5.5 sacks in each of the three seasons prior.
The Bills currently have Ed Oliver and DaQuan Jones as their starting defensive tackles, but their depth at the position is thin heading into free agency. Adding Allen, a proven veteran, would significantly bolster their defensive line, potentially providing a crucial boost for a team aiming for a Super Bowl run. The legal tampering period for NFL free agency begins at 12 noon ET.
