The Eagles are said to have reworked Chris Long’s contract in an effort to lure him back for an 11th NFL season, but reports conflict on whether Long has accepted the new deal and decided he wants to return to the team.
ESPN reporter Field Yates first tweeted that the front office has reworked Long’s contract — guaranteeing him $3 million this season, including a $2.5 million guaranteed base, replacing a $1 million non-guaranteed base and roster bonuses and incentives. This would increase his 2018 cap number by about $750,000.
But then NFL.com writer Michael Silver, who did an in-depth interview with Long before the Super Bowl, tweeted that the offer hasn’t been accepted yet, that a decision should come later this week.
