"The stud right guard has been sorely missed since tearing his ACL. Cosmi has some additional markers to hit, but all signs point to his return to the starting lineup sooner rather than later. That's going to shift the offensive line's dynamic entirely, and one player could suffer more than most. Nick Allegretti initially got the nod to replace Cosmi this season. It did not go well, and the coaching staff sent him to the bench in favor of Andrew Wylie after just two games. When the former Texas star gets the all-clear to participate on game days, he'll be pushed even further down the pecking order."
"[Nick] Allegretti has gained starting experience during his time with the Chiefs and Commanders, having done so in 17 regular-season games, including two with Washington. He's also a three-time Super Bowl champion. While trading for Allegretti isn't going to change the Patriots' fortunes, the move would provide a veteran voice and a player who can play either guard spot if coach Mike Vrabel decides to shake up a line that ranks 27th in sack percentage (9.5%) and 23rd in yards per carry (3.9%)."
Sam Cosmi's 21-day return window opened after a torn ACL, indicating a likely return to Washington's starting lineup once recovery benchmarks are met. His return will alter the offensive line hierarchy and could demote Nick Allegretti, who began the season replacing Cosmi but was benched after two games in favor of Andrew Wylie. Sports Illustrated analyst Gilberto Manzano suggested Allegretti could be traded before the 2025 deadline, with the New England Patriots as a possible destination for a seventh-round pick. Allegretti offers starting experience, positional versatility, three Super Bowl rings, and a $7.17 million cap charge.
