That's awesome for him, to go from having never seen an American Football game in his life, to 4 years, $64 Million and starting LT in what, 4 years?

Yup. My first thought was this guy hasn’t played a full season as a LT before and this probably means Dillard will get moved.

We haven't had a lot of luck signing players for potential. Hopefully he works out and stays healthy

Definitely earned. Good move by the FO.

Be interesting to see how the deal is structured with less than 10 million available under this and next years cap.  His cap number this year will increase significantly with the pro rated signing bonus.

Great news! And when he out plays this contract and asks for more in a year everyone will piss and moan about him not playing out his contract

Awesome news.

Jeff Stoutland is the one who should get the most credit for this

Very happy for him.

A true success story for the player and the franchise.

Way to go to all involved.

I would have waited 1 more year a full year. These early contracts bite us in the ass way to many times

This is the final year of his rookie contract.  He would have been a free agent unless the Eagles extended later or franchised him.  Now was the time to do this.

He was making 2 million before. anything over 100,000 is life changing.

I like Mailata a lot but that deal is outrageous.

Good job, FO.

And no team wants Dillard. He will just be a backup on the Birds until he is cut/released. Reminds me of the Fireman Danny Watkins draft pick. Ugh.

Do you know anything about football ?? That deal is a bargain. 
 

He is the 15th highest paid tackle by yearly average, and when the meat of his contract kicks in after new guys get their deals, he will not even be top 25-30.

Yes if we are gonna give credit to Stoutland for Mailata then we have to give criticism for Dillard. They are both talented but, one had a different mindset then the other to compete and get better. Stoutland can't control the mindset of players.
