A 2019 seventh-rounder, Allegretti has started more than three games in a season just one time. That was 2020. He did start this season’s AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl, playing through a torn UCL (Tommy John) in the “big game.” Still, going on 28, Allegretti is a mild risk at that salary and experience level. The Commanders are betting on his experience translating to the next step.

Allegretti played on all 79 of the Chiefs’ offensive snaps despite suffering his injury in the second quarter. The five-year vet was already filling in for Joe Thuney, who was unable to play due to a pectoral injury and would have forced the Chiefs to play their third-string guard if he was unable to return. It was a Herculean from Allegretti, who was drafted by the Chiefs in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Allegretti will presumably undergo surgery in the coming offseason.
