How long is Kellen Moore’s contract?

Kellen Moore is now running the show as the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles—a role he stepped into in 2024. Details about his contract haven’t been spilled yet, but it’s safe to assume it’s in the typical two-to-four-year range for NFL coordinators. And knowing how these deals work, he’s probably got some nice performance bonuses tied to how the Eagles do on offense.

Before this, Moore had quite the coaching ride. He spent a few years as the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, from 2019 to 2022. But in early 2023, he and the Cowboys decided to go their separate ways. After that, he had a short stint with the Chargers before landing in Philly. It’s been a busy few years for him, but it looks like he’s found a good spot with the Eagles!
