PrintToday the Eagles announced that they've signed TE Brent Celek to a 6 year contract extension that will keep him in Philly until 2016.
The former 5th round pick out of Cincinnati has certainly earned the extension, as he's enjoying a breakout year in what is his first full season as a starter. PE.com has some numbers
Celek is one of the league's top tight ends in 2009 with 54 catches (7th among NFL TEs), 601 yards (5th) and five touchdowns (tied-4th). All of those numbers are career highs for Celek.
Plus, Celek has shown real improvement in his blocking which had probably been his biggest weakness coming into the year. Congrats to him, he earned it. Celek is the second player in as many weeks to get a long term deal from the Eagles, the first being Winston Justice.
Actually, if you had been keeping an eye on the fanposts... A member of the nation broke this yesterday. Thanks to rcpratt.

Brent Celek's six-year extension is worth $33 million and includes $11 million in guaranteed money.

My friend’s dad was a college roommate to Reggie Brown’s uncle brother in law, He told me that Reggie is signing a 3 year deal worth 1.2 million dollars with the Montreal Alouettes.

Awesome
Love Celek, and this signing confirms his jersey will be my next purchase. I kind of wanted DeSean, but he now is represented by RosenHO, or a defensive player, but nobody is really signed long term there.

Brent said this in his presser:
When talking about his injured thumb and how it related to his drops this past week, he said “even without a thumb, I should of made those catches”
Where can we get more guys like this. Celek personifies what it means to be an Eagle.
This is our year!
Brent Celek doesnt read....he stares down the books until he gets the information he wants

SCORE.
