Moro Ojomo Confirms Extension Talks With Eagles

Signaling his rising market value, the talks place Philadelphia under pressure to balance defensive-line pay after two large recent contracts.

Overview

  • Ojomo told reporters on Monday that he has held extension discussions with the Eagles but said there is no agreement in place and he is prepared to play while talks continue.
  • The confirmation follows training-camp comments from defensive coordinator Vic Fangio urging the front office to 'save some money' for Ojomo and reflects internal recognition of his role.
  • Philadelphia's payroll is constrained by a four-year, $152 million deal for Jalen Carter and a three-year, $78 million extension for Jordan Davis, a reality that complicates a large new contract for a third interior lineman.
  • Analysts and local beat writers say Ojomo is likely to enter the 2027 free-agent market if the Eagles do not reach a deal, because another strong season would raise his external value.
  • Camp roster moves, including the early waiver of Ta'Quon Graham, highlight depth on the interior line and set up a season in which Ojomo's on-field production and his agent's negotiating strategy will shape whether Philadelphia keeps him long term.
