Eagles' $5.2 million rising star is forcing Howie Roseman's hand in offseason

Every week, it seems like Howie Roseman's offseason gets a bit more difficult as questions arise about extensions and retention of several players for the future of the franchise.

One player who's played his way into the conversation about an extension is Nakobe Dean, the team's 2022 third-round pick. Dean has battled back from the injury he suffered in the playoffs, sparking the Eagles' defense since his return.

He's coming off an eight-tackle game with two tackles for loss in the Eagles' 31-0 shutout win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15.
