The Eagles have extended another member of their 2018 draft class. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that cornerback Avonte Maddox has signed a three-year extension.

The three-year deal is worth $22.5M and includes $13.3M in guaranteed money, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The deal will keep Maddox in Philly through the 2024 season.

The former fourth-round pick has developed into an important piece in the Eagles’ secondary. Despite starting only two of his 10 games in 2021, Maddox has been having a career, collecting 48 tackles, four tackles for loss, two QB hits, two forced fumbles and one interception. The 25-year-old has generally seen time on more than 60 percent of his team’s defensive snaps. In total, Maddox has appeared in 45 career games (25 starts).

Philly is still rosteirng four of their five picks from the 2018 draft, and each of those four players have now received extensions. Tight end Dallas Goedert signed a four-year extension with the team yesterday, while offensive tackle Jordan Mailata and defensive end Josh Sweat got new deals back in September.
