The Eagles retooled this offseason, signing All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts to a massive contract extension and adjusting after losing some big-name defenders in free agency.
If Philadelphia thought they had a problem after Rashan Gary agreed to a five-year, $107 million extension with Green Bay, wait until Howie Roseman sees Montez Sweat’s new deal.
New #Bears edge Montez Sweat has agreed to a massive 4-year extension worth $98M in new money — $24.5M average per year. He gets $72,865,360 guaranteed with the total deal being worth $105M.

According to Ian Rapoport, The Bears and new star pass-rusher Montez Sweat have agreed to terms on a 4-year that’s worth $72 million guaranteed.
The deal comes almost three months after Haason Reddick was asked about his salary and where it ranks among the NFL’s top pass rushers.
The $24.5 million per season puts Sweat ahead of Gary and on par with Myles Garrett, making him the 5th highest-paid edge rusher in the NFL.
GM Howie Roseman focused on adding younger talent in free agency this offseason, with the potential for impactful production on a cheap deal.
With Sweat’s new deal in place, here’s how it impacts the Eagles and Haason Reddick.
