The Philadelphia Eagles have signed rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon to a fully guaranteed contract on Thursday.
The 20th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft has signed a rookie four-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed the deal Thursday: a four-year, fully guaranteed arrangement carrying an $11.5 million signing bonus.
The deal is worth roughly $5 million per year and totals just over $20.8 million over the course of the contract.
During the draft, the Eagles traded the No. 23, 114, and 137 to the Dallas Cowboys to move into the 20th slot to select Lemon, while also giving up a 2027 seventh rounder. During the draft, it was reported that Lemon had been receiving calls from the Pittsburgh Steelers, who had interest in taking him.
At the post-draft news conference, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman would say, " He has the ability to separate in man coverage, out of the slot, he can play outside. Really good with the ball in his hands," Roseman said. Head coach Nick Sirianni added simply, "Insane ability to catch the ball in contested situations. I love his toughness."
The Eagles' WR1, A.J. Brown, is expected to be dealt over the course of the next few months, so the Eagles were hot on the trail to sign another weapon behind DeVonta Smith.
