For the second consecutive season, the Washington Commanders are expected to sign a member of the Kansas City Chiefs starting offensive line.
Last offseason, the Commanders signed Andrew Wylie to a two-year deal to be their right tackle. On Monday, Washington general manager Adam Peters agreed to terms with Chiefs guard Nick Allegretti on a three-year deal worth up to $16 million.

Allegretti, 27, entered the NFL as a seventh-round draft pick of the Chiefs in the 2019 NFL draft. For his career, the 6-foot-4, 310-pound Allegretti has appeared in 74 games with 13 starts.
Mostly a backup in his career, Allegretti started in the AFC championship game and the Super Bowl in place of the injured Joe Thuney. It was in the Super Bowl that Allegretti tore the UCL in his elbow and played through it for his third championship ring.
Allegretti will presumably become Washington’s new left guard.
