The Eagles have re-signed Rodney McLeod to a two-year contract, per a club announcement. The new deal will be worth $12MM in total, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (via Twitter) hears.
McLeod has been a starter since the 2013 season, when he was still with the (St. Louis) Rams. That streak continued in 2016 when he hooked on with the Eagles, though he was interrupted by a knee injury in 2018 that limited him to just three games. After that, the Eagles asked him to adjust his deal and he obliged.
Last year, he was able to return and start in all 16 of the Eagles’ regular season games. He came away with two interceptions – bringing his career tally to 13 picks – along with six passes defensed, two forced fumbles, one sack, and 76 total stops.
McLeod is currently slated to return to his starting position. This time around, he’ll be paired with Jalen Mills on the first-string unit. Earlier today, the Birds re-upped Mills on a one-year deal and declined their option on locker room leader Malcolm Jenkins.
thankfully we got him back. I’m really worried about Malcom not coming back, but atleast we got Rodney back, that helps
Now that the starting CBs have inked new contracts, perhaps they can afford shirts (to cover up their ink).
Is South Philly near the equator?
What? Try and make intelligent comments.

The Eagles are off to a poor start to free agency. They lost their best defensive player and haven’t filled any of their many great needs.
