Washington Football Team Podcast: Contracts and COVID

Locked On Washington Football Team: Washington re-signs Logan Thomas one day after Jonathan Allen | Ron Rivera on COVID-19 vaccine rates

The Washington Football Team is checking items off its to-do list as training camp commences on Wednesday.

In the past two days, the team agreed to contract extensions with defensive lineman Jonathan Allen and tight end Logan Thomas.

Signing Allen and Thomas to extensions were big priorities for the team and it shows a sign of a good faith to its top performers, which is a shift in how the team has handled the Brandon Scherff extension negotiations, which have now lasted for the better part of two years after he has been franchise tagged for the second consecutive year.
