Nick Sirianni’s contract situation in his walk year and how much the Eagles will have to pay him

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni’s current contract with the team runs through the 2025 season, but he has yet to get a contract extension. After beating the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LIX, however, it’s surely coming soon.

Unlike NFL players, the coaches' salaries are not public knowledge, and there is no salary cap. But of course, reporting from outlets like Sportico and Front Office Sports have estimated what the top coaches make. As for Sirianni, he currently ranks 11th. That’s likely to change, by a lot.

Sirianni’s impending contract with the Eagles

In 2021, Sirianni signed a five-year, $35 million contract with the Eagles. Currently, with an annual salary of around $7 million, he is the 11th-highest-paid coach in the NFL. In four years as the Eagles' head coach, he’s taken the team to the playoffs in every season plus two Super Bowl appearances and now one Super Bowl victory.

With that record, he’s due for a pretty hefty extension. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero believes that it will be at least $15 million per year, maybe more.

“If I’m Nick Sirianni, I’m going, ‘well, there’s other guys who are making $13-14 million and haven’t even won a playoff game!‘”

Pelissero explained that there are at least half a dozen NFL coaches making around $16 million+, and that Sirianni should easily be included in that group in the next year.

“Again, if I’m Sirianni, I’m thinking $15-16 [million] is like the base line for what I should be getting,” Pelissero continued. “That’s the going rate, and if the Eagles don’t want to go there, if you’re Sirianni, you’ve got a tremendous amount of leverage to say, ‘okay, I’m gonna coach the thing out.‘”

So it seems the Eagles should be prepared to pay Sirianni that rate, or be prepared to lose him to another team that is willing to do so.
