The Philadelphia Eagles are signing former Atlanta Falcons free-agent linebacker Arnold Ebiketie to a one-year contract, according to Damarius Bilbo of Klutch Sports. The deal is worth a maximum of $7.3 million and includes $4.3 million in fully guaranteed money.
Arnold Ebiketie joins the Eagles after spending the previous two seasons with the Falcons, where he established himself as a productive rotational pass rusher. During his tenure in Atlanta, the linebacker recorded eight sacks. The Philadelphia front office is reportedly hoping to see an uptick in those numbers as he joins a defensive unit looking to bolster its edge-rushing depth.
The addition of Ebiketie provides the Eagles with a young, high-upside defender on a short-term deal. With $4.3 million guaranteed, the contract represents a significant commitment for the 2024 season as Philadelphia continues to refine its roster ahead of training camp. Ebiketie will look to compete for meaningful snaps in a defensive rotation that prizes versatility and pressure off the edge.
