Brent Celek inks six-year extension with Birds

Posted on 01. Dec, 2009 by Mike Burke in Eagles Related

The Eagles and Brent Celek have agree to a six-year contract extension that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2016.

Celek really started showing potential at the end of last season and picked up where he left off this year. We talked earlier in the year at how he was deserving of a Pro Bowl visit, and it seems that his efforts are really paying off (literally). He has great numbers this year and has been a huge asset to the Eagles offense.

It’s nice to see the Eagles make a move like this and give a deserving player what they deserve. Celek is a hard worker and all around Philadelphia type player. I’m glad to see him sign this extension and hope he continues the production he’s having this year for many years to come.
