The Eagles are signing the 35-year-old defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to a one-year contact.
Suh’s decision to join the Eagles comes after a lengthy waiting period in which the veteran knew his services were desired by plenty of NFL clubs, but remained patient before picking his next employer. Though the five-time All-Pro was clear he intended to play in 2022, he wasn’t about to latch onto a team that wasn’t headed in a worthwhile direction.
The wait paid off with an opportunity to join the one-loss Eagles, a team that expressed confidence in its defensive tackle depth after losing rookie Jordan Davis to injury, then failed in short-yardage situations against Washington, leading to Philadelphia’s first defeat of the season.
