"One of the surprising things I've heard is, I thought Jonathan Allen was going to be on the team next year because of [his] contract, [but] I don't know that he will be. The team is going to look into different stuff. Could they trade him? They're exploring, but it is well within play that they release Jonathan Allen. I would've had his odds of being on the team next year, I would've had it pretty high coming into this week, and now I think it's pretty low."
Jonathan Allen, a defensive tackle who previously played for the Washington Commanders, signed with the Minnesota Vikings during the 2025 offseason after the Commanders released him. Despite initial optimism about his fit with Brian Flores' defensive scheme, Allen's tenure with Minnesota appears uncertain. According to SKOR North reporter Thor Nystrom, citing conversations at the NFL Scouting Combine, the Vikings are exploring options to move on from Allen, including potential trades or outright release. Despite the significant financial commitment of $23.86 million in salary cap space, Nystrom believes Allen's odds of remaining on the roster for the 2026 season are now low, marking a potential second consecutive year of roster instability for the veteran defender.
