A few months removed from a disappointing end to their 2023 season, the Philadelphia Eagles have spent the last few days attempting to re-tool their roster to help them get back to being a top contender in the NFC.
On Friday, the Eagles were able to do something that should help increase their chances of success during the 2024 season.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Philadelphia and standout pass-rusher Josh Sweat have agreed to a restructured contract to keep him with the team.

Sweat has been in the league since the Eagles selected him in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
During the last few seasons, he has emerged as one of Philadelphia’s most prolific defenders.
Since 2021, Sweat has accumulated a total of 25 sacks, including the 6.5 he was able to rack up in 17 games with the Eagles last season.
Retaining the veteran is now one of several notable roster moves the Eagles have made this offseason.
Just during the last few days, Philadelphia has signed pass rusher Bryce Huff, running back Saquon Barkley, wide receiver DeVante Parker, safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, and linebacker Devin White.
The Eagles were still able to earn a spot in the playoffs this past season, but after making it all the way to the Super Bowl in 2022, many would describe their performance in 2023 as disappointing.
Philadelphia fans should be happy with the work the front office has done recently though, as it’s clear that they are doing their best to make sure the team does more than just get into the playoffs next season.
