FSU's Bunkley Signs Guaranteed $10 Million Contract with the Philadelphia Eagles

Brodrick Bunkley agreed to a six-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, ending the first-round pick's two-week holdout.

Bunkley, the 14th overall selection in the NFL draft, agreed to a deal worth $13 million, according to an official within the NFL. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because terms weren't publicly disclosed, said $10 million of that money is guaranteed, and the maximum value of the contract could reach between $25-$30 million with incentives.

The 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle missed 16 days of camp, and won't play in Sunday's game against Oakland. The negotiations between the Eagles and Bunkley's agent, Gary Wichard, were prolonged because the team insisted on making it a six-year contract.

Bunkley played for the Florida State University Seminoles.
