Commanders | Jonathan Allen allowed to seek trade Tue Feb 25, 09:24 AM
Washington Commanders DE Jonathan Allen has been granted permission to seek a trade.
Footballguys view: Allen (pectoral) is coming off an injury-shortened 2024 season, but there could be a market for his services. He turned 30-years old earlier this year, and if healthy Allen could likely still be a dominant force in the middle of the line. |

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 17 of his 22 passes 221 yards, two touchdowns and an interception and ran 11 times for 72 yards and a score in a 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. RB Saquon Barkley rushed 25 times for 57 yards and caught six passes for 40 yards. WR DeVonta Smith had four catches for 69 yards and a touchdown, and WR A.J. Brown added three grabs for 43 yards and a score. CB Cooper DeJean returned an interception for a touchdown, and DE Josh Sweat had 2.5 of Phildelphia's six sacks.
Footballguys view: While Hurts, whose cell phone screen saver for the past two years has been a photo of him walking off the Super Bowl LVII field in Arizona surrounded by yellow and red confetti after losing to the Chiefs, was absolutely stellar en route to earning Super Bowl MVP honors, the defense shouldn't be overlooked. The Eagles forced three turnovers and held Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City offense to 275 yards. "This is the ultimate team game. You can't be great without the greatness of others. Great performance by everybody -- offense, defense, special teams," head coach Nick Sirianni said while holding up the Lombardi Trophy. "We didn't really ever care what anyone thought about how we won, or their opinions. All we want to do is win." |

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett had 14 sacks in 2024, becoming the second player in NFL history to record at least 12 sacks in five consecutive seasons.
Footballguys view: Garrett wants to be traded away from the Browns so he can go to a contender. Already with a Hall of Fame resume, getting a ring would cement Garrett as one of the best pass-rushers of all time. The Browns are adamant they are not trading him, but that could just be posturing to drive the price up. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR Britain Covey (neck) practiced in full all week but has been ruled out for Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs. OL Nick Gates (groin) was limited in practice for a second straight day on Friday, Feb. 7, and is listed as questionable. DE Brandon Graham (elbow) and TE C.J. Uzomah (abdomen) practiced in full on Friday but are also listed as questionable. WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was limited in practice all week but no longer appears on the injury report. LB Zack Baun (groin), DT Jalen Carter (illness), OG Landon Dickerson (knee), RB Kenneth Gainwell (concussion, knee), TE Dallas Goedert (ankle) and C Cameron Jurgens (back) practiced in full on Friday and have also been removed from the injury report.
Footballguys view: Graham was a hero in the Eagles last Super Bowl victory seven years ago against the Patriots, but it's not clear how big of a role he will be able to play on Sunday. Jalen Hurts knee injury from the divisional round will be a non-issue in the Super Bowl. |

Los Angeles Rams DE Jared Verse was named The Associated Press' Defensive Rookie of the Year Thursday, Feb. 6.
Footballguys view: Look at what happens when the Rams actually keep their first round pick. Verse was the first player the Rams have selected in the first round in Sean McVay era, and he made them look very smart for doing it. The team also traded up in the second round to reunite him with college teammate Braden Fiske. Their defense was peaking at the end of the season and were it not for some big Saquon Barkley runs in the divisional round, they might have helped the team get back to the Super Bowl. |
Philadelphia Eagles OG Nick Gates (groin), DE Brandon Graham (elbow) and WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were limited during practice Thursday, Feb. 6. LB Zack Baun (groin), DT Jalen Carter (illness), WR Britain Covey (neck), OG Landon Dickerson (knee), RB Kenneth Gainwell (concussion, knee), TE Dallas Goedert (ankle), C Cameron Jurgens (back) and TE C.J. Uzomah (abdomen) fully participated in practice.
Footballguys view: Smith's status is something to monitor on Friday. He's a speed receiver, one of the best in the league, so a hamstring injury can slow him down a bit. Let's see if he's limited again or a full participant in the final injury report before the Super Bowl. |

Updating previous reports, Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett has requested a trade, but the team has no desire to deal him, according to sources.
Footballguys view: Browns GM Andrew Berry told reporters at the Senior Bowl last week that he would not trade Garrett, even for a hypothetical offer of two first-round picks. The Browns' stance on trading Garrett has not changed amid his trade request, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday. |

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett has requested a trade from the team Monday, Feb. 3.
Footballguys view: At the Senior Bowl last week, Browns General Manager Andrew Berry reiterated he has no interest in trading Garrett, the 2023 AP Defensive Player of the Year. While that didn't keep Garrett from asking -- and it won't keep teams from offering, the Browns will have a say in this. The No. 1 pick of the 2017 draft, Garrett is a four-time, first-team All-Pro and is already one of the best players in franchise history. He's recorded 102.5 sacks, becoming the first player in league history to record at least 14.0 sacks in four straight seasons in 2024. Although the Browns finished 3-14, Garrett still led the league with 22 tackles for loss. He also had 28 quarterback hits. As Profootballtalk.com notes, Garrett has two more years on his current contract, which would create significant dead money on the cap for Cleveland. |

Footballguys view: Graham was a hero in the Eagles last Super Bowl victory. If he suits and even just plays a snap or two, it could give the defense a lift a la Willis Reed in the 1970 NBA Finals. |
