Eagles sign RG Andrew Gardner to three-year contract extension

The Eagles signed guard Andrew Gardner to a three-year contract extension that keeps their new starter under contract through the 2018 season.

The deal was first reported by ESPN. The deal includes $500,000 guaranteed, with $1.4 million annual average in the new years of the deal, according to a league source.

Gardner, 29, won the starting right guard job during the summer. He originally joined the team in 2014 as a reserve, but he started eight games last season because of injuries. Those were the first starts of his career.

He first came into the NFL as a sixth-round by the Miami Dolphins out of Georgia Tech in 2009.
