With Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis signing long-term deals with the Eagles, who's next?

Key Points:

  • The Philadelphia Eagles secured long-term contracts for defensive linemen Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, solidifying their defensive front for the foreseeable future, with more contract extensions expected in 2027 for Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, and Jalyx Hunt.
  • Right guard Tyler Steen emerged as a reliable starter in 2025, excelling in pass protection and playing the most snaps among offensive players; although not currently a top extension candidate, extending him now could benefit the Eagles, while Steen might prefer to wait for a potentially better deal next offseason.
  • Edge rusher Nolan Smith showed promise after a slow start in 2024 but struggled with injuries in 2025; the Eagles exercised his fifth-year option for 2027 but should wait to see his 2026 performance before considering a long-term extension.
  • Quarterback Tanner McKee has displayed flashes of potential but remains a backup with uncertain trade value; he is unlikely to sign a contract extension with the Eagles unless starting opportunities do not materialize elsewhere.
  • Interior defensive lineman Moro Ojomo had a breakout 2025 season and filled a key role, but due to the Eagles' salary cap constraints following major extensions, he is expected to test free agency next offseason rather than sign a new deal with Philadelphia.
