Just In: Proposed Commanders Trade Would Move 29 years old for 1st-Round Pick worth $245 million

 

Washington Commanders, Jonathan Allen, Houston Texans

The Washington Commanders made moves this offseason to better their roster, highlighted by drafting Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 pick. However, Cory Woodroof of USA Today wrote that the team’s still in “rebuild mode” and could be interested in loading up on draft picks. In a proposed trade from Woodroof, the Commanders would move Jonathan Allen to the Houston Texans for a 2025 first-round pick.

Texans get: Jonathan Allen

“The Commanders are squarely in rebuild mode, and having two high-priced defensive tackles on the roster might be a problem in the future as the team could load up on draft picks while building out its roster for the future,” Woodroof wrote in his May 7 article exploring five trades he’d love to see during the summer. “Allen is the most senior member of that defensive line, but he deserves the chance to contend with an up-and-coming team like the Texans.

“The Texans should absolutely just do things like the Los Angeles Rams and burn through first-round draft picks to chase a Super Bowl during quarterback C.J. Stroud’s prime. Draft picks are for losers; just send the Commanders a first-round pick for Allen and add him to your ferocious front seven. This would make the Texans that much scarier for the rest of the AFC this season.”

The Texans are one of the up-and-coming teams in the league, finishing 10-7 and winning a playoff game last season. Allen would get to play a contender for the next two seasons as he still has two years left on the four-year, $72 million contract he signed in 2021.
