The Philadelphia Eagles only recently signed Jalen Carter to a shiny new four-year deal, but it hasn't taken long for Howie Roseman's next potential target to be circled.
Staying on the theme of the defensive front, it looks as though Moro Ojomo's future has been highlighted as a priority. Vic Fangio mentioned in today's press conference that the esteemed Eagles' GM will 'have to save some money for him'.
The former seventh-round pick has blossomed in Philadelphia, putting up 6 sacks in 2025, along with 12 QB hits and 6 TFL. He played in a career-high 66% of defensive snaps.
Ojomo is in the final year of his rookie contract and it doesn't look as though that's lost on the Eagles, who have historically been great with a deep 4-man DT rotation.
In 2017, we all remember the impact that the 4-man squad of Cox, Jernigan, Allen, and Vaeao made. When the Eagles won their second ring, Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis headlined an equally impressive quartet - one that featured both Milton Williams and one Moro Ojomo.
With both Carter and Davis now locked up for the foreseeable future, it makes sense to make sure that the defensive front remains one of the most lethal in football, and the level of talent in those rotational roles can be just as crucial as the starters.
Ojomo's ascent to a key contributor in Fangio's defense has been a joy to watch, and if he can replicate that in 2026, he might well be destined for a nice payday.
