The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed long snapper Rick Lovato to a one-year contract on Tuesday, according to an official team announcement.
The Eagles also confirmed Braden Mann’s reported two-year contract extension.
And so the Birds will retain the special teams operation they had for most of last season with Mann, Lovato, and Jake Elliott all returning. There was never any doubt that this would be the case but now it’s official.
Lovato originally signed with the Eagles during the 2016 season after Jon Dorenbos got hurt. He then surprisingly beat out Dorenbos ahead of the 2017 season.
