Chiefs Send an “Irresistible” Offer for the Commanders’ 2× Pro Bowl DT — The Deal Is Expected to Be Finalized Before the 11/4 Deadline

Kansas City, Missouri – 3/11/2025

With less than 24 hours until the NFL trade window closes, the Kansas City Chiefs are shaking up the entire league with an ambitious move. According to sources from ESPN and NFL Network, Andy Reid’s team has officially sent a “blockbuster” offer to the Washington Commanders to acquire Jonathan Allen, the 2× Pro Bowl defensive star who is on the radar of multiple contender teams.

After the bitter 21–28 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium, the Chiefs understand that their biggest weakness lies in the interior defensive line – where they lack stability alongside Chris Jones. Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders are in the rebuilding process, ready to listen to big offers to accumulate more draft picks for the future.

According to reporter Ian Rapoport (NFL.com), the Chiefs have put forward a package including a 2026 second-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick, in exchange for Jonathan Allen along with partial support for the remaining salary this season. If this deal is completed, Allen will become the perfect piece to help the Chiefs reestablish the defense that once made the entire NFL wary during the 2022–2023 period.

Jonathan Allen, 29 years old, has made two Pro Bowl appearances and is the spiritual leader of Washington’s defense. In the 2024 season, he recorded 7.5 sacks, 14 QB hits, and 9 tackles for loss – top statistics in the NFC East. His departure from D.C. is almost a signal that the Commanders are “selling big” to rebuild the roster around young QB Jayden Daniels.

Head coach Andy Reid could not hide his admiration: “Jonathan is the type of player every team wants to have – strong, disciplined, and always giving his all for his teammates. I’ve been following him for a long time, and I believe that if he wears a Chiefs jersey, our defense will become more complete than ever.”

Sources from The Athletic reveal that Allen is also “very excited” about the prospect of joining the team aiming for their seventh consecutive playoff appearance. If both sides reach an agreement before the trade deadline on 11/4 (4:00 PM ET), this will be the Chiefs’ biggest defensive deal since they acquired Frank Clark in 2019.

A “blockbuster” is waiting to explode – and this time, it could be the perfect piece to help Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs return to the championship race.
