A Major Contract for Tyler Steen?

The Philadelphia Eagles have built their reputation by developing some of the NFL's best offensive linemen.

After awarding big contracts to several of their offensive linemen in recent years, another name could soon hit the jackpot: Tyler Steen.

According to an analysis by Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report, the 24-year-old offensive guard is currently the most promising young player in the organization.

As he approaches the final year of his rookie contract, Steen is reportedly in a strong position to secure a lucrative contract extension.

A third-round pick by the Eagles in the 2023 draft, the University of Alabama alum initially served as a backup before truly breaking out in 2025.

After Mekhi Becton's departure, Tyler Steen took over the right guard position and has remained a fixture in the starting lineup ever since. He started all 17 games of the season, participating in 96% of Philadelphia's offensive plays despite the numerous injuries that plagued the offensive line.

His performances also caught the attention of analysts. According to Pro Football Focus, Steen ranked 17th among all offensive guards in the NFL and 11th in quarterback protection, confirming his growing importance to the team.

A Memorable Brawl That Left a Lasting Impression on Eagles Fans

While Tyler Steen has stood out for his play on the field, he has also become a fan favorite following a viral moment during a game against the Washington Commanders.

At the end of that game, a violent brawl broke out. Steen found himself in the thick of the action after an exchange with defensive back Mike Sainristil, before being surrounded by several Commanders players.

Footage of the brawl quickly spread on social media, with many fans praising the player's courage as he appeared to stand up to much of the opposing defense. Although he was ejected from the game and fined nearly $17,000, his popularity among Eagles fans has only grown.

This altercation followed a controversial decision by Philadelphia to attempt a two-point conversion late in the game—a move that had greatly angered Washington.

With a full season as a starter and steady improvement, Tyler Steen now appears well-positioned to become the next offensive lineman developed by the Eagles to sign a major contract. If his progress continues in 2026, Philadelphia may soon have to offer him a significant contract extension to secure one of its young offensive pillars.
