With $15M Left to Pay, Dan Quinn Gives Matthew Stafford Treatment to Commanders Star Amid Big Jayden Daniels Plans

Wait 5 sec.

Not every offseason move comes with a clear answer. The Washington Commanders are making changes, looking to reshape their roster and build for the future. Their latest move has sparked plenty of debate—will it push the team in the right direction or create more uncertainty? While the impact on the Commanders is up for discussion, one thing is certain: it could be a game-changer for the player involved.Well, Jonathan Jones, just took to X, to share a very important decision the Commanders have taken: “The Washington Commanders have granted two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen permission to seek a trade.” This move certainly signals potential big changes for the franchise. Allen has been a cornerstone of Washington’s defense, and his departure—if it happens—could shake up the team’s plans moving forward. A similar situation went on with Matthew Stafford and the Rams, as they allowed the QB to have trade talks with other teams.Sources to @NFLonCBS: The Washington Commanders have granted two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen permission to seek a trade https://t.co/MiyD4wDeO2— Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) February 25, 2025For now, though, it seems like the Commanders are taking a player-friendly approach, working alongside Allen and his camp to find the best possible landing spot—whether through a trade or, eventually, free agency. According to a post made by Ian Rapoport on X, with one year left on his contract at $15 million, Commanders appear willing to accommodate Allen’s desire for a fresh start while ensuring they get fair value in return.Well, while the Commanders might lose Allen, they are looking to add more firepower to the squad to help Jayden Daniels. their latest mock draft updates suggest a clear shift in focus—getting him the support he needs to succeed. While defense has long been a priority in Washington, this year’s projections show a heavier investment in offensive weapons and protection to set Daniels up for success from Day 1.Early-round mock drafts now have Washington targeting a top offensive tackle to solidify the line in front of Daniels. The Commanders are making bold moves, balancing roster changes with a clear focus on supporting their future quarterback. Will these decisions pay off? It remains to be seen for now, but one thing is certain—Washington is fully embracing a new era.The post With $15M Left to Pay, Dan Quinn Gives Matthew Stafford Treatment to Commanders Star Amid Big Jayden Daniels Plans appeared first on EssentiallySports.
