April Fools’ Day has been no joke for Philadelphia Eagles safety Reed Blankenship.
The good news started when it was revealed that he finished as the second-highest earner in the NFL’s “Performance-Based Pay program.” Blankenship was awarded $923,059, which is more than he made from his $870,000 base salary.
Not too long after that news emerged, the Eagles announced they officially signed Blankenship to a one-year contract extension. He’s now under team control through the 2025 season.
Prior to signing an extension, Blankenship was set to be a restricted free agent after 2024.
