Nick Sirianni on contract extension: These things take care of themselves
Sirianni is headed into the final year of the deal he signed when he was hired by the Eagles in 2021 and winning the Super Bowl is the compelling argument a coach can make for a new pact. No extension has come together to this point in the offseason, but Sirianni expressed little concern about the pace while speaking to reporters at the league meetings on Tuesday.
'These things will take care of themselves,' Sirianni said, via Eliot Shorr-Parks of WIP. 'I'm not too concerned about it. I don't really get into contracts with anybody. I'm not going to get into it on this one. It will take care of itself.'
There have been some ups and downs in Sirianni's four seasons as a head coach, but he's won a Super Bowl and another NFC title while making the playoffs all four years. Given those results, it's easy to understand Sirianni's lack of stress about getting a new deal before Year Five is underway.

Super Bowl–winning ex-Eagles standout continues to miss time with new team
A former Eagles Super Bowl winner remains absent from practice with his new team. It's often impossible to immediately quantify the success of an NFL trade. It's just as difficult to measure the impact of seeing a critical Philadelphia Eagles contributor leave the organization in free agency to continue his dream in another city. Often, the aftershocks of a roster shakeup involving two teams can't be measured until months or even years after its announcement. Philadelphia has seen good fortune recently. They won the Carson Wentz and A.J. Brown trades, and often, when they have taken chances on free agents, those moves have also led to some satisfactory labor from new additions and bridge players. Mekhi Becton continues to miss Chargers training camp practices Mekhi Becton is one of those solid signings referenced. Philadelphia rolled the dice on him this past season to the tune of a one-year deal intended to prove his mettle. Becton arrived in Philadelphia, and there were questions about his attitude and injury history. Fortune shone on him. For the most part, he stayed relatively healthy. There were no complaints about his attitude, as he was once quoted as saying he had never had so much fun playing football. But every offseason brings the same dilemma. There is only so much money to spread around in free agency. The Eagles had Tyler Steen on deck and other roster needs. Becton was allowed to leave the organization via free agency. He signed with the Los Angeles Chargers. Sadly, the injuries have returned, but his ailments haven't been made public. Plus, there hasn't been any timetable mentioned for when he might return. We're still in the training camp and preseason process, so NFL teams aren't required to provide weekly injury reports. There is, however, growing concern coming out of Los Angeles. Becton hasn't practiced since July. There hasn't been anything concrete stating when he will again. Might this be evidence that the Eagles moved off of him at the right time? It's certainly an interesting discussion. Steen has taken over for the Eagles as their starting right guard, waiting in the wings are guys like Brett Toth, Matt Pryor, and Trevor Keegan. Losing a starting caliber player is always worth mentioning. Fortunately, it appears Philadelphia won in this regard. They saved money at the position, and no one has to spend time racking their brain over what's going on with an expensive player. Becton will always be loved and respected in the City of Brotherly Love as a champion, but for now, his continued NFL story has tapped the 'pause' button.

New York Giants' Russell Wilson sees value in playing preseason games
One would think that most NFL veterans, especially ones who have a Super Bowl ring and 10 Pro Bowls to their credit, would loathe playing preseason games. Not Russell Wilson. The 36-year-old, who signed a one-year, incentive-laden deal with the New York Giants in March, is as exuberant as ever. After the Giants pounded the Jets, 31-12, in their annual preseason meeting on Saturday night, Wilson told reporters he isn't one of those vets who avoid playing in the preseason. "I like playing in the preseason. I like playing any time I get a chance to do that," Wilson said. "Especially early on, you get a rhythm. I think that going against Buffalo, a really good defense, a really good team, obviously, they've been super successful the past several years, you know, last week, and to put a good drive, a 14-play drive together, to be able to move the ball well. "I think Wan'Dale (Robinson) had a really good game that game and made some great catches. Some guys, Theo (Johnson), had a really good game the first game; the offensive line did a great job." That success carried over into Saturday night's game against the Jets, and Wilson was equally as happy. "And then to come back in this game to see guys like Jalin (Hyatt) make some big -- we were backed up the first couple drives really -- and I thought we did a good job obviously getting out of there, the huge explosive play to Beaux (Collins), and then being on the one, two-yard line and Jalin Hyatt running a great route on the right, that was a huge play by him, tremendous route, great protection again," he said. "I think what it does is it just gives you that confidence in what we're doing. We're doing it on the practice field, as you guys have seen in how well we've practiced, but I think to translate that to the game, put a bunch of points on the board, and to be successful. There's still a lot more room to grow. We can be way better, we'll be better, and just as we continue to play and continue to get after it together, it's going to be fun." Wilson is currently the Giants' starter, but rookie Jaxson Dart is breathing down his neck. It no longer seems to be a case of if Dart gets to play this season, but when. Wilson appears to be leaning into it. "I think he's done a tremendous job. He definitely has worked at it every day. You know, he's sitting over here in the room so . . . But he works at it every day, and he asks the right questions," Wilson said of Dart. "That's what I enjoy about him. He knows this, like I'm never shy about giving information and talking about it and us learning about it and me asking and vice versa and we're all just constantly learning." The Giants are having fun and enjoying meaningless preseason games. Things really are changing in East Rutherford.

Saints Play of Day 21: Patrick Robinson's wild over-the-shoulder INT
The 2025 New Orleans Saints season is just three weeks, 21 days away from kicking off against the Arizona Cardinals. Continuing our countdown, we are turning back the clock by over a decade to celebrate an acrobatic interception made by Patrick Robinson in the No. 21 jersey. Robinson was a first-round draft pick back in the 2010 NFL draft. While he may have never turned into an All-Pro, he did put together an 11-year NFL career and spent eight of those years with the Saints. He also won a Super Bowl in 2018 with the Philadelphia Eagles. He had 16 interceptions throughout the regular season during his career, one of which was already on this countdown back when there were still 99 days left. The one we are highlighting today wasn't returned for a touchdown, but was acrobatic and impressive in its own right. Back in Week 5 of the 2014 season, New Orleans faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what turned out to be a high-scoring 37-31 affair that the Saints came out on top of. Buccaneers quarterback Mike Glennon took a deep shot to Louis Murphy down the sideline in the second quarter. The pass hung in the air a bit, allowing Robinson to fully extend while in the middle of the air and end up coming down with the ball with an over-the-shoulder catch. You can watch the athletic interception for yourself here.
