Eagles’ most overlooked contract story could shape 2026 offseason

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and general manager Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles made moves to shore up some major voids at position groups like edge and cornerback.

But unless a surprising multi-year contract extension is on the horizon, the Eagles’ most underrated storyline on defense appears poised to carry on into next offseason.

Safety Reed Blankenship remains a man without a contract. Per Spotrac, he’s currently playing out the one-year, $3.5 million extension he signed off his rookie deal in 2024. There’s a void year in Blankenship’s contract in 2026, meaning he’s scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.
