PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with defensive end Chris Long, who won a Super Bowl last season with New England.
A No. 2 overall draft pick by the Rams in 2008, Long spent eight seasons with St. Louis before he joined the Patriots in 2016.
Long has 342 tackles, 58 1/2 sacks, nine forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries in 130 games.
He had four sacks and 10 quarterback hits in 16 games for New England and was an integral part of a defense that allowed an NFL-low 250 points.
Long was an All-American at Virginia, won the 2007 Ted Hendricks Award for top defensive end in the nation and a first-team All-ACC player in 2007. He is the son of NFL Hall-of-Famer Howie Long.
