Eagles will officially announce three major deals to knight

The Philadelphia Eagles have three players – Haason Reddick, Landon Dickerson, and DeVonta Smith – who are under contract but must be addressed by Howie Roseman

PHILADELPHIA – There’s more on the offseason table for the Philadelphia Eagles than just the coaching staff, though that’s what is out front at the moment.

Soon, it will be time for general manager Howie Roseman to turn his attention to players and their contracts.

The Eagles have some key free agents to make decisions on, a list that includes:

They are Haason Reddick, DeVonta Smith, and Landon Dickerson.

Here’s a closer look at the three:

REDDICK. The pass rusher began this season making it known that he would like a contract extension after signing a three-year contract heading into 2022. He had a good case after putting up 19.5 sacks, including his postseason performance.

Reddick never made a big deal out of it. He practiced and he played and played well. Now in the final year of that contract, his salary cap charge is a monster this year at $21.8 million.

Surely a restructure with some added years for a player who will turn 30 in September and is playing at a very high level is warranted.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

PHILADELPHIA – There’s more on the offseason table for the Philadelphia Eagles than just the coaching staff, though that’s what is out front at the moment.

Soon, it will be time for general manager Howie Roseman to turn his attention to players and their contracts.

The Eagles have some key free agents to make decisions on, a list that includes:

Defensive linemen Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham

Reserve offensive linemen Sua Opeta and Jack Driscoll

Running backs D’Andre Swift and Boston Scott

All three linebackers – Nicholas Morrow, Zach Cunningham, and Shaq Leonard.

Punter Braden Mann

There are others, such as receivers Julio Jones, Quez Watkins, and Olamide Zaccheaus, running back Rashaad Penny, and cornerback Bradley Roby who probably won’t return.

There are three who already have contracts but need to be on the Eagles’ radar this offseason.

Haason Reddick has a big salary-cap charge entering the final year of contract.

They are Haason Reddick, DeVonta Smith, and Landon Dickerson.

Surely a restructure with some added years for a player who will turn 30 in September and is playing at a very high level is warranted.

And Reddick, who is from across the river in Camden, N.J., would love to see it happen.

“Every time I get to wear that midnight green, every time I get to play in an Eagles uniform is always going to be special for me,” he said in the Raymond James Stadium locker room after the season ended against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “Whether we’re winning or we’re losing, a kid from the area, a kid who watched the Eagles will always be special to me.

I was born and raised through the NFC East division, so for me, every chance, every opportunity I get to wear the Eagles uniform will always be special to me.”

DICKERSON. As a second-round draft pick in 2021, Dickerson is a bargain with a base salary of $1.8M in the final year of his deal. He was just named to his second Pro Bowl and said, “If it keeps snowing,” he’ll probably play in the game because it is in Orlando on the first weekend of February.
