Daily News | ‘That’s imposing’: Eagles view Jordan Mailata and Landon Dickerson as future cornerstone pieces on the left side of the offensive line
in last month’s draft. Dickerson possesses plenty of positional versatility, but it appears he’ll be staying at left guard for the foreseeable future, and potentially long-term.“We felt like the chemistry that they had developed going forward and how young those guys are, just developing that left side,” Roseman said of Dickerson and Mailata’s relationship.
“But I think as we went through it and looked at where we were and saw how powerful that side is and how important that was going forward and the chemistry that they developed, we felt like [it] was the right thing for us to keep that way.” The 6-foot-8, 365-pound Mailata, 25, has blossomed nicely considering that he was an Australian rugby player who had never played football before he was drafted in 2018 as a product of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program. He and Dickerson made nine starts alongside each other, and enjoyed success during the second half of the season as the Eagles pushed their way toward a playoff berth.
Before the season opener, the Eagles had signed Mailata to a four-year extension with $40.85 million in guaranteed salary. Based on his performance from last year alone, that deal could wind up being extremely team-friendly with Mailata already proving his worth at a premium position on the o-line. “The standard has always been high, regardless of how many years I’ve been a starter,” Mailata said last week at the NovaCare Complex. “The contract [offers] that sense of stability, where I’m financially set. But when I walk into this building, I have the mentality like I have no contract.”
