Milton Williams, the Philadelphia Eagles' defensive tackle, is poised to make a significant financial leap as he heads into free agency next week. With Eagles GM Howie Roseman hinting at a different off-season approach, Williams is expected to command a hefty contract, potentially exceeding $23 million annually with substantial guarantees. Despite his pivotal role in the Eagles' Super Bowl victory, insiders suggest that his time in Philadelphia might be coming to an end, as he has had minimal contact with the team post-season.

In light of Williams' likely departure, the Eagles are focusing on internal competition, with expectations for younger players like Moro Ojomo and Gabe Hall to step up. However, Roseman has indicated that the team will seek to add more talent to the defensive line, possibly through veteran acquisitions or draft picks. Dre'Mont Jones, a former player under Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, emerges as a strong candidate, given his proven track record. Furthermore, Ole Miss' Walter Nolen could be an ideal fit in the draft should he be available at pick 32.
