PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford made waves Wednesday when he was lukewarm on the idea of re-signing this offseason. However, while Bradford might be the team's top priority, he is far from the only key contributor set to be a free agent.

Like Bradford, Walter Thurmond is playing on a one-year deal after signing with the Eagles as a free agent last spring. December tends to be a time that teams look at signing soon to be free agents to extensions such as the Green Bay Packers inking defensive line Mike Daniels this week.

Given the value Thurmond has brought to the Eagles secondary by moving to free safety during training camp and solidifying the back end of the defense alongside Malcolm Jenkins, it wouldn't be surprising if the front office acted quickly to ensure he's roaming the defensive backfield well beyond the conclusion of this season.

However, it does not sound as if the two sides have commenced contract talks as of yet.

"Not that I know of," Thurmond told NJ Advance Media Thursday when asked if the Eagles had made any indication on possibly signing him to an extension. "It's one of those things that I haven't been worried about. I'm just focused on this season and making a push for the playoffs. A lot of guys like to sign for long-term extensions because of different aspects to their team and stuff like that. It's just one of those things that when it happens, it happens."

Thurmond has played on three teams in the past three years after winning a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in 2013 and suffering a season ending injury early last season as a member of the Giants prior to joining the Eagles in March.

While there is something to be said for consistency and having a long-term commitment to the team you're playing for, the 28-year-old Thurmond says he's leaving all of his options on the table at this point.

"It's one of those things that if we can work something out, I'd love to be here," Thurmond said. "But also I understand it's a business. There are a lot of positions and scenarios that need to be addressed on the team.

"Maybe I'm not a priority to their situation. I just understand the business. They can go out and draft a free safety. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Everything will work out but it's too early to tell. Especially with the draft. Who knows who they're going to re-sign and let go."

This season Thurmond has posted 69 tackles, three interceptions and two forced fumbles after making the switch during training camp from cornerback to free safety. Along with Jenkins, Thurmond has helped provide some of the most consistent safety play the Eagles have seen since the likes of Quintin Mikell and Brian Dawkins roamed the deep secondary.

As well as Thurmond has made the adjustment to a position change, it doesn't sound as though he envisions himself staying there long-term.

"It depends," Thurmond said, when asked if he hoped to continue playing safety. "I was playing some cornerback today on scout team and I kind of miss playing corner and being out there. It just depends on what teams value me at. I haven't been at the cornerback position in about two years between last year going on IR and this year playing safety."

If Thurmond is set on playing cornerback that opportunity will likely need to come elsewhere. The Eagles signed Byron Maxwell to a $63 million contract last offseason and rookie Eric Rowe has shown plenty of promise. While there is always the possibility that Thurmond could move back to the slot cornerback position, the Eagles likely aren't going to pay the premium he could get to play the outside spot or even safety on the open market.

From the sounds of it, both Thurmond and the Eagles will have a difficult decision to make at season's end, but it appears as though this situation will not have any resolution until after this season eventually comes to an end.
