The logic is that the Eagles could potentially improve their pass rush while moving on from a player they’re reportedly hesitant to commit big money to.”According to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, the Eagles are ‘hesitant’ to sign Carter to an extension. Philadelphia has a need on the edge with Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith Jr. likely to compete for snaps opposite Jonathan Greenard. Hunt has made strides, but he has been a rotational player for two years,” Moton wrote.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement”The Eagles can upgrade their pass rush by bringing back Sweat, who played for the team between 2018 and 2024. According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the 29-year-old edge-rusher has ‘let it be known’ that he’s not happy in Arizona.”This story will be updated. More Philadelphia Eagles news:Key defender named biggest bust candidate for Philadelphia Eagles in 2026Anonymous NFL coordinator blasts Philadelphia Eagles’ Jalen CarterUnheralded offensive lineman named Philadelphia Eagles most promising playerPhiladelphia Eagles urged to extend key defender before start of NFL seasonEagles’ Saquon Barkley thinks Nick Sirianni deserves more respect
