INDIANAPOLIS — Jake Elliott is a two-time Super Bowl champion and has spent the last nine years with the Eagles. He might already be the greatest kicker in franchise history.

But it’s not crazy to wonder about his future.

Elliott, 31, is coming off another disappointing season in 2025 and has now had back-to-back seasons that have not been up to his usual standard.

There’s a reason Eagles general manager Howie Roseman was asked about Elliott during his media availability at the NFL Combine.

“I think that Jake has been a tremendous kicker for us since we got him off practice squad in Cincinnati in 2017,” Roseman said. “Tremendously clutch. Have a lot of confidence in him as a player, as a kicker, as a person, a captain on our team and continue to believe in him as our place kicker.”

As of late February, Roseman says the Eagles continue to believe in Elliott as their kicker but, as always, actions speak louder than words. And we’ll see if the Eagles bring in any outside competition for Elliott in 2026.

Last season, Elliott made just 20 of 27 field goals (74.1%) and was just 4-for-8 from 50+ yards. Over the past two seasons, Elliott has made just 33.3% of his field goals from 50+ yards, which is the worst percentage in the NFL among the 35 kickers who have attempted at least 5.

As clutch as Elliott has been in his career — he’s 28-for-29 on FGs in the playoffs and 9-for-9 in Super Bowls — he did miss three PATs in the Super Bowl LIX run and missed another crucial one in the Eagles’ wild-card loss to the 49ers last year.

But Elliott’s contract situation doesn’t make it super easy to move on. The Eagles and Elliott agreed to a four-year, $24 million extension in March of 2024 and cutting him before the start of this season would raise his cap hit with dead money.

Here are the scenarios, via OverTheCap:

Pre-June 1 cut: The Eagles would take on an additional $6 million in dead cap space, raising his cap hit from $4.893 million to $10.919 million.

Post-June 1 cut: The Eagles would take on an additional $2.2 million in dead cap space, raising his cap hit from $4.893 million to $7.063 million.

So if the Eagles were to bring in competition for Elliott and he lost his job, it would be more palatable for the Eagles to cut him in the summer and move on because they could split up the dead cap over two seasons. But it’s still not ideal.

The best-case scenario is that Elliott gets back to form. But even though the Eagles have publicly expressed confidence in Elliott, there’s no way to know yet if that will happen.
