Could Allen be the difference maker the Texans need? Jump start the Cardinals’ playoff push? Be the Patriots’ adult in the room?

Jonathan Allen’s time with the Commanders might be coming to an end, as the former Pro Bowler has received permission to seek a trade, per FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz.

Commanders general manager Adam Peters was available to speak to the media on the first day of the NFL scouting combine, just hours after the news about Allen was released. Though it’s still early in the process as Allen starts to evaluate his options, there are still questions about what will happen to him next.
