Bennie Logan signs contract extension

According to Pro Football Focus, the Eagles had the second-best defensive front seven in the NFL in 2016. Logan, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March, played a huge part in the group’s success and should be re-signed by the Eagles this offseason.

Logan is a disruptive force on Philadelphia’s defensive line, blocking running lanes and forcing running backs to bounce runs to high traffic areas and gain minimal yardage. With the NFC East regaining its competitive form, now would be an inopportune time to let a player like Logan walk in free agency.

Re-signing Logan won’t be cheap, but the fourth-year player has stated that he wants to stay with the Eagles rather than start over in a different city.

"“Trying to start over and do something new is something I’m not looking forward to. Because I enjoy being here, the city and everything. This is where I see myself at.”"
