Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Jonathan Allen.
For the 2nd year in a row, former Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen will be looking for a new team.
And just like last year, there should be plenty of suitors for Allen, a 2-time Pro Bowler and former 1st round pick.
“The Vikings are expected to release DT Jonathan Allen due to salary cap constraints, per sources,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler wrote on his official X account on Wednesday. “The former Pro Bowler had 68 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 17 starts. The Vikings are $40-plus million over the cap and need to get under, thus the move.”
Allen signed a 3-year, $51 million contract with the Vikings in March 2025 after he was released by the Commanders to free up $16.5 million in salary cap space.
