Eagles Restructure Kicker Jake Elliott's Contract

On this March 19th, here's what's making headlines for the NFL.

The Philadelphia Eagles just restructured Kicker Jake Elliott's contract.

They cut his base salary to $5 million, but fully guaranteed it while trimming his 2026 cap hit by $240,000.

This move follows Elliott's standout 2023 season.

He earned second team all pro nods from the Associated Press and set a team record with a 93.8% feel-go rate.

Plus, he hit a personal best of 135 points, 5th most in Eagles history.

In the playoffs though, things got tense.

During their 23-19 wildcard loss to the 49ers, Elliott nailed kicks from 41 and 33 yards.

But he missed one of two extra points, which haunted them on the last drive when a tie was on the line.

Looking back at the regular season, Elliott was rock solid on extra points, going 41 for 42.

His feel goals were shake year at 74%, or 20 of 27, his lowest mark since 2020.

Overall, the tweet gives Philadelphia a better cap flexibility heading into next year, balancing Elliott's proven talent with recent ups and downs.
