Moro Ojomo, the Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle poised for a significant contract boost following a standout season, has officially changed his representation to Athletes First Agency. This move reflects Ojomo’s strategic aim to enhance his future earnings as he approaches free agency.
Transition to a Leading Sports Agency
Ojomo’s previous agent, Kenny Zuckerman of Priority Sports & Entertainment, managed him when the Eagles selected the defensive lineman in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Texas. Now, Ojomo has joined Athletes First, a prominent NFL agency boasting around 450 clients and led by top agents including Brian Murphy, David Mulugheta, Todd France, Tory Dandy, Kyle McCarthy, and Ryan Williams.

By aligning with Athletes First, Ojomo aims to position himself for maximum earning potential, whether he remains with Philadelphia or explores opportunities elsewhere after his rookie contract expires.
Establishing Himself with a Breakout Campaign
Ojomo, who is 24 years old and originally from Nigeria, saw limited action during his rookie year but secured a prominent role in his second season. When starred defensive tackle Milton Williams departed for New England via free agency last year, Ojomo took over the DT3 spot alongside fellow Eagles starters Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis.
During the 2025 season, Ojomo played every game and recorded career highs with 38 tackles, six tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, 12 quarterback hits, and 29 pressures across 740 snaps, which accounted for 66% of Philadelphia’s defensive plays. His performance earned him the No. 26 ranking among interior defensive linemen by Pro Football Focus, and he ranked 14th specifically as a pass rusher.
Contract Outlook Amid Team Priorities
All three of the Eagles’ key defensive tackles—Carter, Davis, and Ojomo—are eligible for contract extensions this offseason, creating a challenging financial scenario for general manager Howie Roseman. Due to the team’s wealth of young defensive talent, prioritizing deals will be critical, and Carter and Davis are widely expected to receive immediate attention.
It is likely that Ojomo will complete his rookie contract before securing a lucrative extension, but his recent rise suggests a strong chance of entering the market as a sought-after free agent following the 2026 season. As a pass rusher, he could command deals with an average annual value exceeding $20 million, a level that typically rewards players with his skill set over those who primarily excel in run defense.
Ojomo’s decision to switch to Athletes First places him in the hands of proven agents experienced in negotiating high-value contracts, underscoring his cautious optimism and readiness to take the next step in his NFL career.
