Jonathan Allen Fantasy

The Washington Football Team has signed defensive tackle Jonathan Allen to a four-year, $72 million contract extension. Allen will be a key piece to one of the best defensive lines in football, which includes the likes of Chase Young, Daron Payne and Montez Sweat. The 2017 first-round pick has played in all but one game since the 2018 season, and he is coming off a season where he registered two sacks, 63 tackles (36 solo), 14 quarterback hits and one fumble recovery. Washington will be bringing back an elite defense that carried them to a division title in the 2020 season and will look to repeat as division champions with their improved offense.

The Washington Redskins exercised their fifth-year option on defensive tackle Jonathan Allen. The option keeps him under contract through the 2021 season. Allen was a first-round pick in 2017 (17th overall) and has been solid in his professional career but has certainly not lived up to his draft position. He's recorded 14 sacks in the past two seasons. He has been good at staying on the field though, playing in 15 games last year and in all 16 the year before.

Updating previous reports, Washington Redskins defensive lineman and 2017 first-round draft pick Jonathan Allen (foot) is out for the remainder of the season with a Lisfranc injury. Allen recorded 10 tackles and a sack over the team's first five games and had been a big reason for the team performing much better on defense in early 2017 than they did a year ago. It is a big blow to the Redskins as they figure to become marginally weaker across the board going forward.
