Eagles Sign Darren Sproles to One-Year Extension

The Eagles have announced they’ve signed Darren Sproles to a one-year extension through the 2017 season. Ian Rapoport is reporting the extension is worth $4.5 million. From the Eagles’ website:

Being one of the oldest guys on the team, to know you’re going to be here a little bit longer, that’s a pretty good feeling,” Sproles said Friday morning shortly after signing the extension.
 
A dynamic and versatile player, Sproles is also atop the NFL with 16,207 all-purpose yards since 2007. He’s amassed 646 rushing yards, 775 receiving yards and 14 total touchdowns during his two seasons in Philadelphia and is the only player in the NFL to record 15 or more rushing touchdowns, 25 or more receiving touchdowns and five or more punt return touchdowns in his career.

Sproles has 14 total touchdowns with the Eagles the past two seasons to go with two Pro Bowl appearances. He may be asked to do some more now – at least in training camp – as Ryan Mathews, the projected starter at running back, is currently out with an injury.
