Jake Fromm has yet to play in a regular game since appearing in three games with the Giants during the 2021 season. Heading into training camp, he’ll look to land in another quarterback room.

In the 2021 season, Fromm appeared in three games for the Giants and passed for 210 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions.

Jake Fromm Had A Sensational College Career Before Being Drafted Into The NFL

During the 2017 season, Fromm assisted Georgia in winning a College Football Playoff game and an SEC championship.In his rookie campaign, Fromm replaced Jacob Eason as Georgia’s starting quarterback, and the team finished 13-2. The Bulldogs went on to win the Rose Bowl and the SEC Championship. They were on the verge of winning the national championship, but Alabama overcame a third-quarter deficit of 20–7 to prevail.Fromm’s skills improved during his second year. Still, Georgia was eliminated from the playoffs following another Alabama comeback victory, so the team could not achieve its dream of winning a national championship.

Before losing badly to LSU in the SEC Championship Game, Fromm led UGA to an 11-1 regular season record during his junior year.

Fromm threw for 8,224 yards and 78 touchdowns in three seasons at Georgia, via Sports Reference.

The Bills drafted quarterback Jake Fromm from Georgia in the fifth round with the 167th pick.

REPORT: Washington Commanders Superstar Player Is Suddenly Available For Trade Following 2024 NFL Draft

The Commanders also happen to have one of the league’s best post-draft trade chips in veteran defensive tackle Jonathan Allen.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, some NFL executives believe two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen could be a trade candidate following the selection of Jer’Zhan Newton with the No. 36 pick:

“Newton has first-round ability but was recovering from a Jones fracture of his right foot during the pre-draft process. Having three talented tackles is hardly a bad thing, but a few league execs are wondering if Washington will ever consider offers for Allen, who is due $15.4 million this year and $16.5 million next, below market for high-end tackles.

The people I’ve talked to believe Washington will need to either rework his contract eventually or decide whether it will entertain trade interest, which it has rebuffed in the past. But, for now, head coach Dan Quinn can concoct a plan to get all three defensive tackles on the field.”

Allen signed a four-year extension worth $72 million in the 2021 offseason after helping Washington to a surprise NFC East division crown. At the time, Washington boasted one of football’s top pass-rushing units led by Allen, Montez Sweat and Chase Young.

But Sweat and Young were dealt to the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers ahead of the 2023 trade deadline, respectively. Sweat signed an extension with Chicago, and Young agreed to a one-year deal with the New Orleans in free agency.

The new-look Washington defense added defensive linemen Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler Jr., linebackers Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu and safety Jeremy Chinn in free agency. We’ll find out soon enough if Allen will remain in DC, or if the Commanders will give him a fresh start before Week 1.

Allen Would Fetch A Nice Return For Washington Commanders

Jonathan Allen has posted six or more sacks in four of his seven NFL seasons. This included a career-high nine sacks in the 2021 season that garnered Allen his first Pro Bowl nod.

You can never have too many dynamic pass-rushers in today’s NFL. So Allen would definitely generate plenty of interest on the trade market. If Washington does trade Allen, they’ll get a nice return for the two-time Pro Bowler who’s still in his prime.
