Eagles Agree To Terms With Patrick Johnson On One-Year Deal
The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Thursday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent outside linebacker Patrick Johnson (knee). The 26-year-old entered the NFL as a seventh-round selection (234th overall) by the Eagles in 2021 out of Tulane, and he spent the first three seasons of his career in Philadelphia before he was waived by the team in September of last year. He eventually latched on with the division-rival New York Giants and played 12 games (no starts) in 2024, totaling only four tackles (one solo). A knee injury caused him to miss the final three games of the season. Johnson will now return to the Eagles, where he'll likely just be competing for a roster spot in training camp. In his first three years in Philly, Jones had only 35 tackles (23 solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 48 games (two starts).
The Philadelphia Eagles have reached an agreement with former New York Giants linebacker Patrick Johnson on a one-year deal. The financial terms have not been disclosed. Johnson spent his first three years with the Eagles, racking up 20 tackles, one fumble forced, and one recovered in 48 games, but signed with New York for the 2024 season. He'd appear in 13 games for the G-Men, though he only registered three tackles. However, he did participate on special teams for New York. Philadelphia let a few of their defensive starters depart this offseason, but the 27-year-old figures to operate as a depth piece for the team.
