WASHINGTON — The Locked on Washington Football Team Podcast with Chris Russell and David Harrison breaks down the NEW contact extensions for tight end Logan Thomas and defensive lineman Jon Allen that happened this week ahead of training camp in Richmond.
The new contract extension for Allen is for 4-years, $72 million -- with a $30 million signing bonus. The 26-year-old has been with Washington since 2017 and has recorded 202 tackles and 17 sacks since being drafted by the team.
"This is life-changing money. It changes your future. It’s emotional.” said Jonathan Allen after Wednesday's training camp practice on Wednesday in Richmond.
According to The Washington Post, for Logan Thomas, his extension is for 3-years and $24 million. Thomas has been with Washington since 2020, and had a break-out season with the team last year, becoming a prominent receiving option for multiple quarterbacks that started for the team amid injuries at that position.
