Washington has signed star defensive tackle Jonathan Allen to a $72-million, four-year contract extension with a $30 million signing bonus.

on the eve of training camp to a $72 million, four-year contract extension with a $30 million signing bonus.

Allen's agency, Team IFA, announced the terms of the deal in a Twitter post Monday. Players are set to report to Washington's training camp Tuesday with the first practice session set for Wednesday. Washington picked Allen 17th in the 2017 draft. After an injury-plagued rookie year, the 26-year-old Alabama product has grown into the cornerstone of the defence and a team leader and was a key reason the unit ranked second in the NFL in 2020.

He was fourth on the team last season with 63 tackles and also had two sacks, helping mentor AP Defensive Rookie of the Year Chase Young while also producing. Allen has 190 tackles and 17 sacks in 52 pro games. Allen had one year left on his contract at just over $10 million. There was a concern he'd be franchise-tagged next summer if no long-term agreement could be reached, similar to All-Pro guard Brandon Scherff's contract situation.washington-signs-dt-jonathan-allen-72m-four-year-extension
