Hello everybody and welcome to the P.H.O.I. Eagles podcast on a Tuesday afternoon, Bo Wolf.

E.J. Smith, live from the Expediting studio and presented by Ashley. Coming up your way with a big old show.

How are you doing, E.J? I'm doing great. We do. We have a packed show. We got a lot of topics, a lot of good insight.

So, yeah, I am very excited for today's show. All right. We got a lot to get to. Let's start,

my friend, with a Wawa Wednesday and the big deal, because we'll focus on the on-field stuff first.

We're going to get to what's going on with the Eagles front office.

We're going to talk about an impressive class of undrafted free agents for the Eagles,

maybe stork rank their likelihood of making the team.

And then we're going to be joined by the NFL's International Scout, who has some really interesting insight on Uar Bernard and Joshua Wiru.

Mark Dalgarian, the International Scout.

That guy, what a awesome conversation.

I mean, I'm sure it is hectic, but what a crazy job.

So it be fun to hear from him. But we begin with the Eagles picking up the fifth year options, E.J. Yeah. On Nolan Smith and Jalen Carter. What do you make of the decision? Yeah, it's not an entirely surprising decision on either front. You know, this gives the Eagles the both of the, yeah, both of those guys are under contract through 2027 now.

The number that Jalen Carter is at is a pretty significant one.

It's a north of $30 million for that 2027 season.

So again, it doesn't surprise me that they picked up the fifth year option.

I think, you know, reading between the lines, like this means that the Jalen Carter extension

is not imminent, you know, if they had something that was, they'd expect to happen in the very short, in the short

term, you would have expected them to work the fifth year option into that extension. So,

but with that said, I still wouldn't be surprised at all if they, they sign Jalen Carter,

especially long term after the fifth year option.

They still have that optionality.
