The Washington Commanders have granted two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen permission to seek a trade, sources tell CBS Sports. Allen, the team's first-round pick in 2017, is in the final year of his contract with Washington.

Allen was a former No. 17 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, having won a national championship with the Alabama Crimson Tide. He's been nothing short of productive in Washington, racking up 401 tackles and 42 sacks in his eight-year career, being named to the Pro Bowl in both 2021 and 2022.
