The Commanders recently took a significant step to enhance their offensive line by finalizing a three-year contract worth $16 million with Kansas City Chiefs offensive guard Nick Allegretti, as reported by NFL insider Ari Meirov on Monday. This move comes after Allegretti demonstrated his capabilities by filling in for the injured Joe Thuney in both the AFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl. Despite suffering a torn UCL in the Super Bowl’s second quarter, Allegretti played the majority of his 79 snaps.
This marks the Commanders’ second acquisition for the offensive line during the tampering period, as they previously secured a three-year, $30 million deal with Dallas Cowboys center Tyler Biadasz.
With the Commanders ranking second in the NFL for allowing the most sacks last season (65), reinforcing the offensive line became a crucial priority, irrespective of their quarterback situation for the upcoming season. The signings of Allegretti and Biadasz signal positive steps toward protecting their quarterback, as they embark on the Dan Quinn era.
