The Eagles’ head coach will sign a new contract soon. How will it look like?
Nick Sirianni is entering the final season of his five-year deal with the Eagles, which he signed in 2021. He isn’t concerned about any lame-duck possibilities, and he shouldn’t be.
He coaches the defending Super Bowl champions and has won the NFC twice in four seasons. While there was some turmoil in the middle, Sirianni has done a lot of winning and earned himself some peace of mind.
Sirianni stated this earlier this week while addressing to the media at the NFL Owners’ meetings in Palm Beach, Florida.
“These things will take care of themselves,” Sirianni explained. “I am not very concerned about it. I don’t actually enter into contracts with anyone. I’m not going to go into detail on this one. It will care for itself.”
Eagles’ Nick Sirianni Won’t Apologize for Sideline Behavior
As for the guy who signs the checks, team chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie said Wednesday that Sirianni’s new contract is nearly complete given what he has already accomplished.
“I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough that Nick will be our coach going forward and he’s done an outstanding job,” Lurie told the crowd. “Nick embodies all I hoped for. Whether it’s connection, intelligence in many aspects, from football to emotional intelligence, managing people, employing assistant coaches, and maintaining a growth mentality at all times… [E]verything I wanted for early on, picking Nick as the next head coach, has come true. He’s a pleasure to work with, has a growth attitude, and will improve.”
The details of Sirianni’s future deal appear to be the only remaining unknowns.
So, how should Nick’s next deal look like?
Sirianni’s current contract is reportedly around $7 million per year, placing him in the middle of NFL head coaches.
Only Andy Reid and the Chiefs (52) have won more regular-season games over the last four seasons than Sirianni (48).
Add six postseason wins plus a Super Bowl win (and a defeat), and you have a resume that is almost unrivaled.
