5 reasons why the Eagles should sign D’Andre Swift to a contract extension

We’re looking at five reasons why the Philadelphia #Eagles should sign dynamic running back D’Andre Swift to a contract extension via @Thacover2NFL

NFL teams refuse to give running backs lucrative long-term contracts, but Philadelphia GM Howie Roseman must figure out how to convince D’Andre Swift to play for $5+ million per season.

Only three Super Bowl champions in the last 15 years had a 1,000-yard rusher in the regular season compared with 11 in the 15 seasons before, so it’ll be hard to convince the long-time GM that paying solid money to a running back in this climate makes sense.

Teams successfully use a running back-by-committee approach rotation like the Eagles last season.

Philadelphia will continue that trend in 2023 and beyond, and it’s on Howie Roseman to ensure that Swift sticks around with Kenneth Gainwell to give the Birds a dynamic and dominant duo at the position.

With preparation for a Week 4 matchup against Washington fast approaching, we’re looking at five reasons why the Eagles need to extend Swift sooner rather than later.
