Eagles Pick Up Nolan Smith's Fifth-Year Option
The Philadelphia Eagles are picking up the fifth-year option for pass-rusher Nolan Smith, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Smith will be locked in for roughly $13.7 million in 2027. The Eagles will sign up for another year of Smith despite the fact that he played in only 12 games in 2025 due to a triceps injury that he initially suffered in training camp. The 25-year-old former 30th overall pick in 2023 out of Georgia totaled 31 tackles (15 solo), three sacks, 11 QB hits, and a forced fumble in his 12 regular-season starts last year. He's recorded 10.5 total sacks in 45 games played (22 starts) in his three years with the Eagles, and how he performs in the upcoming season will go a long way towards determining if the team wants to sign him to a long-term extension. In addition to Smith, the Eagles picked up defensive tackle Jalen Carter's fifth-year option for 2027.
