Allegretti, who was previously signed through 2026, has been with the Commanders since 2024 and started 4 games at center last season.

Why it matters

After starting all 17 games for the Commanders in 2024, Allegretti played 16 games with 4 starts in 2025, including the final two games at center.

  • Allegretti was originally signed by the Commanders in 2024.
