Defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley agreed to a six-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, ending the first-round pick's two-week holdout. Bunkley, the 14th overall selection in the NFL draft, agreed to a deal worth $13 million, according to an official within the NFL. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because terms weren't publicly disclosed. |
| NOTES: |
Bunkley missed 16 days of training camp, and won't play in Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. The Eagles selected Bunkley to fill a glaring need in the middle of a line that hardly generated a strong rush on quarterbacks last season. |
|
|
| NEWS: |
Bunkley's plans to have an impact season are decreasing each day the rookie misses practice. Bunkley, the 14th pick in the first round of the NFL draft, still hasn't reached a contract agreement with the Eagles nearly two weeks into training camp. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle already has missed 13 days and almost certainly won't play in Sunday's game against Oakland, even if he signed immediately. |
| NOTES: |
The Eagles selected Bunkley to fill a glaring need in the middle of a line that hardly generated a strong rush on quarterbacks last season. At Florida State, Bunkley proved to be a versatile player who can rush the passer and stuff the run. He had nine sacks, 66 tackles and two fumble recoveries as a senior. |
