What makes you assume that?
Modern ACL recoveries are much sooner than they used to be, especially in young players.
Alim may not even go on PUP or IR to start the regular season.
Just as Reader was on the regular roster to start the season.

But most of those were coming off of recent dominant performance. Allen is 2-3 years removed from his best ball.
If weāre talking $15m per Iām open minded. Beyond that, no thanks.

In a draft rich in trench players, doubt a trade for a veteran pro bowler wanting a new big deal is in the cards.

Iād rather take my chances on Leviās back than pay Allen top dollar. But Iām skeptical he finds top dollar anywhere.

Iām not interested for the Lions period.
Signing old declining free agents to long term deals is not a smart thing to do.
Holmes has not shown that is something he would do.
2 years has generally been his max for outside players.
But nothing near top of market.

Everyone knows that, but that doesnāt mean there going to pay 2 top tier players. They looking for someone that can that can cover till he is ready. There not looking for a top tier player at that position imo.

30 years old. Nope. He has that degenerative shoulder injury as well. Has played his entire career on it. But it has always been a pain tolerance thing. Those things donāt get easier w age.
It is interesting the hometown kid (ashburn VA) is wanting out when the team is finally relevant in his career.

To be fair, every time I see a veteran trade request or cut rumor that hasnāt been posted on here I do so. Iām not necessarily endorsing it.

I donāt know if he necessarily wants out, I think he wants to get paid and Washington isnāt going to pay him.

Coming off a down year with an injury and is 30? Canāt see trading for him as heās probably being released.
They drafted Johnny Newton for this exact reason.
Get rid of Mathis
Trade Jon Allen
He probably wants one last massive pay day and is hoping a fringe playoff team ponies up to lock him in for 3-4 years. I say let him be someone elseās cap casualty in 2027.

If heās cut we need to get him.
Perfect fill in for McNeil , and heās a year younger than Reader whoās on an expiring contract.
And doesnāt affect the beans.
Heck we could get beans for Levi & Reader next off-season

Hard pass!
$22,470,588 Is his cap hit I am not giving beans to take that contract. When you see the Vet DTs released an more will be released after draft We can find one or two 1 year signings for fill in for Mac an develop readers replacement next year. We may need a couple but we can get them cheaper vets or a pick or two.
I am against any trade for a DT we can get quality vet for like 6 to 8 mil an draft one an draft a edge. I pass on them all an they all will not find a team.
He is getting released
