A proposed deal between the Washington Commanders and the Green Bay Packers for the defensive player Jonathan Allen, who has been rumored to be a potential replacement for the team’s faltering quarterback, Jordan Love, is now being considered by the Washington Commanders. The defensive performance of Allen has been impressive over the past two seasons, as evidenced by his 80 pressures, 13 sacks, and 34 tackles for loss. Allen had a very quiet year in 2021 and 2022. The Green Bay Packers have been going through a period of rebuilding, and Allen has the potential to assist them in meeting their lofty goals.
Jer’Zhan Newton was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft, which could provide them with a replacement for Allen. The foot surgery that Allen underwent, on the other hand, has rendered him a tradeable player, and the Green Bay Packers may be interested in acquiring him.
Although Allen has not been traded by the Washington Commanders, it is possible that he will be dealt either before the season begins or during the NFL trade deadline. As a result of Allen’s potential to enhance the Green Bay Packers’ defense and increase their chances of winning the NFC North, Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report said that the Packers should make an effort to get Allen through acquisition. The edge rusher for the Packers might also be beneficial to their defense, since they had a difficult time getting to the quarterback during the previous season.
