Caleb Downs signs $28.9 million contract as Eagles hire Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator

Dallas Cowboys rookie safety Caleb Downs, the 11th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, signed a four‑year, fully guaranteed $28.9 million deal. The former Ohio State All‑American recorded 68 tackles, two interceptions and a sack in his final college season and is expected to make an immediate impact in Dallas’ secondary.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles announced 34‑year‑old former quarterback Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator. Mannion, who rose from a longtime backup to a coaching role after stints under Matt LaFleur, will implement a Shanahan‑style scheme for quarterback Jalen Hurts under head coach Nick Sirianni. The move follows an under‑whelming 2025 season and reflects the Eagles’ desire for a fresh offensive approach.
