Eagles weigh cutting kicker Jake Elliott after inconsistent 2025 season, facing cap consequences.

The Philadelphia Eagles' playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers highlighted kicker Jake Elliott's struggles, including a missed extra point that hurt their early momentum. His 74.1% field goal accuracy in 2025 fell below team standards, prompting speculation about his future. Despite head coach Nick Sirianni's continued confidence and Elliott’s strong playoff history, the team faces a tough decision: cut him, risking a $6.5 million dead cap hit in 2026, or retain him amid ongoing inconsistency. The Eagles may delay the move to spread the financial impact, prioritizing reliability in high-pressure moments.
