Eagles Face Looming Decision Over Defensive Tackle Moro Ojomo

Ojomo enters the final year of his rookie contract as recent, large extensions for Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis tighten Philadelphia’s salary-cap room.

Overview

  • The Eagles’ defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, said on Thursday that the team should “save some money” for Moro Ojomo, publicly flagging him as a player the coaching staff wants to keep.
  • General manager Howie Roseman has also praised Ojomo’s value to the position group, describing him as an important part of the defensive line’s long-term makeup.
  • Ojomo is in the last season of his rookie deal and can become an unrestricted free agent next March, which sets up a likely extension or free-agency choice this winter.
  • Ojomo rose from a 2023 seventh-round pick to a productive rotational tackle, producing 38 tackles and 6.0 sacks in 2025 and showing interior pass-rush versatility.
  • Philadelphia’s offseason commitment of roughly $230 million in new money to Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis reduces cap flexibility and increases the risk that Ojomo could price himself out of staying in Philadelphia.
