The Eagles continued the trend of bringing back their own free agents with Thursday’s announcement that they signed defensive end Derek Barnett to a two-year contract.
Barnett’s return was a bit of a surprise after the Eagles inked edge rusher Haason Reddick to a three-year, $45 million deal last week. But he wasn’t garnering much interest in free agency and the Eagles decided to roll it back with their 2017 first-round draft pick, and likely at a lower per-year salary than he earned in 2021.
For his career, Barnett has drawn 29 penalties, three of which were declined. Ten were personal fouls. There were glimpses of greatness. And he always played hard — against the run, as well. He also doesn’t turn 26 until June. But Barnett will likely drop in the Eagles’ rotation — with Josh Sweat and Reddick the top two edges — as will veteran Brandon Graham, who is returning from an Achilles tendon rupture and turns 34 next month.
The Eagles have already released and re-signed Fletcher Cox, partly because general manager Howie Roseman had similarly kicked money the defensive tackle was owed into future years. Cox signed a one-year, $14 million deal earlier this week.
