Eagles' Jeffrey Lurie Hints at Nick Sirianni Contract Extension After Super Bowl Win

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie hinted on Tuesday that head coach Nick Sirianni will soon be receiving a contract extension.

"You guys will find out soon enough that Nick will be our coach moving forward," he told reporters.

General manager Howie Roseman is also sticking around Philly for the foreseeable future, as expected:

Lurie also noted that the Eagles would continue to be aggressive in their strategy of signing their own players to extensions or free agents with deals that are heavy on cash upfront and push the cap implications down the line with void years.

"Our cash over cap has been high, and it'll continue to be," he told reporters. "I only know one way. ... If you want to win big, you better plan ahead."

That planning ahead this offseason has included letting Milton Williams, Josh Sweat and Mekhi Bechton walk in free agency, among others, while trading Chauncey Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans. Those decisions were made in the spirit of remaining flexible down the line, with extensions soon due to players like star center Cam Jurgens and superstar defensive tackle Jalen Carter.

For the Eagles, that means Roseman nailing the draft will be key. Given his hits over the past four drafts—players like Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Jalyx Hunt, Carter, Nolan Smith, Jordan Davis, Jurgens, Nakobe Dean (before he was injured), DeVonta Smith, Landon Dickerson and Williams all played key roles in the team's run to the Super Bowl title this season—there's reason to believe Roseman will continue to work his magic in April.

It also means Sirianni getting the most of the talent on hand.

Thus far, he's done that and then some. Despite nearly losing his job after the end of the 2023's epic collapse, the 43-year-old head coach is now 48-20 in the regular season, 6-3 in the playoffs, has led Philly to postseason appearances in all four of his years on the job—including a pair of Super Bowl appearances—and of course, this year's title.

Roseman is often credited as the main architect of Philly's success, given the talent he's accumulated. But through multiple offensive and defensive coordinators and an always-shifting roster, Sirianni continues to win in Philadelphia. In that regard, an extension was inevitable.
