The Philadelphia Eagles have secured their left tackle, Jordan Mailata, for several more years by agreeing to a three-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through 2028. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the deal is worth $66 million, with $48 million guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus. This news comes after Mailata’s impressive performance on the field, earning his first start in Week 4 of the 2020 season and playing every offensive snap for the team in 2023.
Mailata, who hails from Australia where he played rugby, was originally under contract until 2025. However, this new extension ensures that he will remain with the Eagles for at least another three years. The Eagles drafted Mailata in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL draft and have since watched him grow into one of their key players.
With this new contract, Mailata is now one of the highest-paid offensive tackles in the NFL. He has proven his value on the field and will continue to be a crucial part of the Eagles’ offensive line for years to come. Fans and experts alike are excited about what this means for the team’s future success.
