The Washington Commanders and veteran offensive lineman Nick Allegretti have agreed to terms on a new two-year contract, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The deal ensures the veteran interior lineman remains a foundational piece of the Commanders' offensive front through the next two seasons.
Nick Allegretti, a three-time Super Bowl champion during his tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs, originally joined Washington to provide veteran leadership and versatility. His value became evident late last season when he started the final two games at center, filling the void left by an injury to Tyler Biadasz.
In a corresponding roster move, the Commanders are releasing Tyler Biadasz, according to the report. The decision to extend Allegretti while moving on from Biadasz suggests the team is confident in Allegretti’s ability to take over as a primary starter in the middle of the line. Allegretti brings significant championship experience to a Washington unit that is currently undergoing a period of transition.
Before joining Washington, Allegretti was a key reserve and occasional starter for the Chiefs, most notably starting in Super Bowl LVIII following an injury to Joe Thuney. His ability to perform at a high level on the game's biggest stage has made him a highly valued asset in the NFL.
