Redskins picking up Jonathan Allen’s fifth-year option

Redskins picking up Jonathan Allen’s fifth-year option (https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/04/27/washington-picking-up-jonathan-allens-fifth-year-option/)

Well deserved. He's one of our main leaders now that Trent burned his bridges.

No brainier. Team Captain this new DF scheme will suit him. HTTR.

I think Allen will have a resurgence under Del Rio. Coming from Alabama I doubt he understood the depth of disfunction of the Skins.

Good

Not that it's astonishingly surprising, it's the smart thing to do, but I do think it's a bit telling : Rivera's policy has clearly be to evaluate what he can do with this roster before committing long term to anybody, so I like that he already sees Allen as a part of his long term project.

Now you know why the team didn’t go crazy on free agency, need to extend our own. Allen and Scherff, in the near future Payne, etc. The nice thing is after next year we can goodbye to Smith, gain more cap space, Kerrigan restructuring or moving on, cutting Collins if he disappoints.

Yeah ... it makes my head hurt trying to figure out how to keep our young DLine together without blowing up the cap. Having some room to do that, makes sense. Especially when the FA we targeted may not be worth the mega dollars they got.

I heard keim say something interesting on the podcast About Kerrigan...said “he had thought RK would be extended with cap number reduced, now not so sure. “

This is good news. I’m ok with Kerrigan playing out his deal or possibly being traded midseason. While I like the guy, the team is turning in a new direction. Getting his 11 mill off the books after this season as well as Smith is gonna be nice

They’ll keep Kerrigan for his final season. Besides being a backup to Chase he will be a GREAT mentor. Chase is willing to learn and Ryan will help teach him. I also think he’ll have a much better season than last, because he’ll be used correctly.

After this season, not sure what’s going to happen, but he’ll probably be let go. His salary is too high as a backup and depth player. But for this season he will do well keeping Sweat and Young fresh and pressure on the QB.
