The Philadelphia Eagles dove into free agency and kept one of their own inking WR Jason Avant to a five year deal. Financial details of the deal weren’t released.
Eagles Wrap Up Jason Avant For Five Years
Avant, 26, has become a solid possession receiver for the Eagles since they made him a fourth round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. In four seasons he’s caught 37 passes on third down, 32 of which have gone for a first down.
Last season he set career highs in catches (41), yards (587) and touchdowns (3).
Avant, in his fourth year, was playing under a restricted free agent tag at the second round level. Had he not signed a long-term deal, he would have made just over $1.7 million in 2010.
