Nick Sirianni’s offseason came with a lot of challenges

The Eagles are dealing with difficult calls on the contracts of many star players – Zack Baun, Milton Williams, Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham. Now as per the reports, Baun is about to hit a jackpot in the offseason. Nick Sirianni and the team are reportedly in a rush to re-sign him, especially after his Super Bowl game. He led the Eagles’s defense with seven total tackles and also a major QB hit. So, it’s obvious the Eagles will try their best to keep the player on their roster.

On the other hand, as per reports Williams too will be paid. Thanks to his two sacks, two tackles for loss, a quarterback hit, a forced fumble and recovery and four tackles in the Super Bowl LIX game. So, Nick Sirianni’s team is working on their contracts. Now what about Sweat and Graham?

As per many, it’s the time to pay Sweat the money too. The reason is that he is considered a top player who is about to hit the market. Moreover, who can forget his 2.5 sacks and six pressures in the Eagles-dominated Super Bowl game. However, for Graham, it seems he might not be taking an extension. Why?

Well, some reports suggest Graham might be quitting the league after the Super Bowl win. Although no official confirmation has come out, many believe the 36-year-old DE will retire soon. Let’s see what happens next in this interesting offseason.
