After playing out his rookie contract in Atlanta, Arnold Ebiketie is heading to Philly. The free agent linebacker is signing with the Eagles, [according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter](https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/2032287114868433175).
It will be a one-year deal for the former second-round pick. Ebiketie can earn up to $7.3MM this upcoming season, including $4.3MM in guaranteed money.
The 38th-overall pick in the 2022, Ebiketie didn’t necessarily live up to his draft billing in Atlanta. He started only 12 of his 67 games across four seasons, appearing in less than half of his team’s defensive snaps. He did show some ability to get after the QB, including a stretch between 2023 and 2024 when he totaled 12 sacks.
His counting stats took a step back in 2025, as the 27-year-old finished with career-lows in sacks (two) and QB hits (six). Pro Football Focus was generally a fan of his performance, ranking him 27th among 119 qualifying edge defenders. While the site identifies pass-rushing as his best skill, they also gave him solid marks for his run-stuffing ability.
