The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to a two-year, $28 million contract with defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, according to ESPN sources. The deal represents a significant addition to Cincinnati's defensive line as they continue building toward next season. Allen brings veteran experience and proven pass-rushing ability to the Bengals' front seven.
Allen spent his first seven NFL seasons with Washington after being selected 17th overall in the 2017 draft. The Alabama product has been a consistent interior pass rusher, recording 45.5 career sacks and earning Pro Bowl recognition in 2021. His signing addresses a key need for Cincinnati following their recent defensive struggles.
