Arnold Ebiketie: Everything you need to know

Ebiketie signed a one-year contract worth up to $7.3 million with the Eagles on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Ebiketie gets $4.3 million guaranteed and has appeared in 67 of a possible 68 regular-season games since entering the league as a 2022 second-round pick of the Falcons. He started only 12 of those contests as a part-time player on defense for Atlanta. Despite the limited snaps, Ebiketie has 16.5 career sacks and will add juice to Philly's pass rush.

Ebiketie finished the 2024 season with 38 total tackles (26 solo), including 6.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed and a fumble recovery across 17 games. Ebiketie was able to play in all 17 regular-season games with the Falcons again in 2024, setting a new career high with 38 takedowns during the year. The linebacker also secured the first fumble recovery of his three-year NFL career. Ebiketie was selected in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft and he'll be entering his final season under contract with Atlanta in 2025.

Ebiketie recorded five total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants. The third-year pro from Penn State appears to be breaking out down the stretch for the Falcons, having now recorded 10 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and one pass defended over his last four games. Ebiketie has appeared in 15 games for Atlanta this season and recorded 34 total stops, including 5.0 sacks, and two passes defended.
