Josh Sweat reaches agreement with Cardinals on 4-year deal after winning Super Bowl with Eagles: reports

The Eagles also saw defensive tackle Milton Williams head to the New England Patriots on a four-year deal worth $104 million with $63 million guaranteed.

For Sweat, he reunites with his former defensive coordinator in Philadelphia, Jonathan Gannon, who is head coach of the Cardinals. Gannon was in that role in 2021 and 2022 when Sweat had the best two-year performance of his career. 

An improved pass rush is something the Cardinals needed, and they wasted no time getting a familiar face for Gannon. 

But the 27-year-old's best game of the year came in Super Bowl LIX, getting Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the ground with 2.5 sacks and three quarterback hits in the 44-20 win. 

Over his seven years with the Eagles, Sweat has tallied 43 sacks, 237 combined tackles (54 for loss), seven forced fumbles and one pick-six in 104 career games. 

Sweat joins a Cardinals team that also sees Justin Jones, Baron Browning and Zavn Collins among their other linebackers.
