Eagles, DT Jenkins rework deal

Feb 21, 2012

The Philadelphia Eagles have restructured defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins' contract so that he can remain with the team next season, the team announced Tuesday.

Terms of the restructured contract weren't released by the Eagles.

Jenkins agreed to a five-year deal with the Eagles last July and was reportedly to be paid over $7 million in 2012, including a $5 million roster bonus due next month that led to speculation he would be moved to another team.

The 31-year-old had 40 tackles and 5 1/2 sacks last season for Philadelphia.
