Super Bowl winner Nick Allegretti is leaving Kansas City to head to Washington, according to a report.
The guard stepped up in the postseason, replacing the injured Joe Thuney to start the AFC Championship game and the Chiefs’ victory at Super Bowl LVIII.
During the first half of the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers, the 27-year-old suffered a torn UCL in his elbow but he heroically soldiered on to see out the 25-22 overtime win.
And Allegretti’s display now appears set to be rewarded after catching the eye of the Washington Commanders.
He has agreed a three-year, $16 million deal with $9 million guaranteed with the Commanders ahead of their first season under new head coach Dan Quinn, according to NFL Media.
Allegretti suffered the torn UCL during the second quarter of February’s big game but still stayed in the game to play all 79 snaps on offense, starting the game at left guard in place of All-Pro Joe Thuney who was out with a pectoral injury. 
The 27-year-old who is listed on the Chiefs depth chart as the backup guard and center allowed one sack during the game, according to Pro Football Focus.
Allegretti was expected to undergo surgery to deal with the tear but it’s currently unclear how the injury will impact his availability for training camp.
