In a strategic move to bolster their defense, the Philadelphia Eagles have officially signed linebacker Azeez Ojulari to a one-year contract valued at $4 million. This significant acquisition comes as the Eagles look to enhance their defensive lineup ahead of the upcoming NFL season.

Ojulari, now 24, previously played for the New York Giants, where he finished his rookie contract. Known for his explosive playing style and versatility on the field, Ojulari was ranked No. 49 on Pro Football Talk's list of the top 100 free agents for 2025, making him one of the sought-after defensive players in the league.

Originally drafted in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Ojulari has established himself as a formidable force in just four seasons. Over the course of his career, he has participated in 46 games and started in 30 of them, accumulating impressive stats including 22 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, and 37 quarterback hits.

In the 2024 season, Ojulari showcased his abilities by recording 6 sacks and 7 tackles for loss in just 11 games. He saw significant field time, contributing to 58% of the defensive snaps and playing a role in 12% of special teams snaps as well.

With this addition, the Eagles are looking to strengthen their defense against divisional rivals and elevate their competitive edge. Fans are eagerly anticipating how Ojulari will perform under the guidance of the Eagles' coaching staff and whether he can help propel the team into playoff contention.

As the offseason progresses, all eyes will be on Ojulari in training camp to see if he can live up to the expectations and make a lasting impact on Philadelphia’s defense!
