NFL free agency is finally here and things are moving at a million miles per hour. Over the past couple of years, the Philadelphia Eagles have found a ton of success in the offseason, and 2024 seems to be no different. Obviously the retirements of Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox are tough ones, but general manager Howie Roseman always has a plan.
The Eagles landed running back Saquon Barkley which was their splashy move, however, re-signing former Alabama guard [autotag]Landon Dickerson[/autotag] to an extension is nearly as important. Dickerson’s extension is good for four-years and will be worth around $84 million, making him the highest-paid guard in league history. $50 million of it will be guaranteed with $20 million coming as a signing bonus.
Dickerson has been a guard ever since he stepped into the league, but with Kelce’s retirement, it will be interesting to see if he moves back over to center. During his time with Alabama and Florida State, Dickerson was almost exclusively a center.
The #Eagles and Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson have agreed to terms on a 4-year extension worth $84M base, $87M max value, source said. He gets $50M total guaranteed and a $20M signing bonus. The highest-paid guard in NFL history at $21M per year.
The deal was done by his agents…— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 11, 2024
