The Philadelphia Eagles signed Blake Countess to a contract extension, according to a report from NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Reuben Frank. Countess is now under team control through the 2020 NFL season.
Countess was originally set to make $2.025 million on the final year of his contract in 2019. The Los Angeles Rams tried to get him to take a pay cut but he refused so they waived him. The Eagles claimed Countess (and his contract) off waivers last Friday.
The exact contract details are currently unclear but it’s believed the new deal for Countess lowers his cap hit in 2019 by pushing money into next year.
