Eagles Restructure Kicker Jake Elliott's Contract

It's March 19th for the NFL.

Let's get into it.

The Philadelphia Eagles recently restructured Kicker Jake Elliott's contract,

cutting his cap hit for 2026 and guaranteeing his salary.

This move shows the team still trust their veteran despite a rough season.

Last year, Elliott hid just 74% of his fuel goals,

ranking near the bottom of the league, while the average sat around 85%.

His long-range kicks were especially shaky,

making only 4 out of 8 from 50 yards or more.

That inconsistency hurt in big moments,

like a missed extra point against the San Francisco 49ers.

It forced the Eagles to need six points instead of three on their last drive,

and everyone knows how that playoff game ended.

Coach Nick Seriani backed Elliott publicly,

pointing to his past success,

but some criticized him for not pushing harder amid the late season misses,

and four of the final five games.

Fans worry this is a risky bet on an aging player,

and many call for competition and training camp,

or even a long-term replacement to avoid another.

Post-season heartbreak.
