Sweat is in line to sign a four-year, $76.4 million contract with the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sweat cashes out on the open market following an impressive 2024 campaign with the Eagles that was capped by his 2.5-sack performance during the team's Super Bowl LIX win over the Chiefs. He's now totaled 6.0 or more sacks in five consecutive seasons and will provide a much-needed boost to Arizona's defensive front. The 8.0 sacks Sweat notched during the 2024 regular season would've led the Cardinals defense -- Zaven Collins finished No. 1 with just 5.0 sacks.

Sweat registered 41 tackles (27 solo), including eight sacks, and two pass defenses across 16 regular-season appearances. He tallied 10 stops (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, across four postseason contests.
EDGE Analysis
Sweat logged his second-most sacks in a season, falling three shy of his career-best 2022 campaign. This increased production came despite playing about 200 fewer defensive snaps than he did in 2023 when he played 17 regular-season games. The seven-year vet signed a one-year, $10 million deal to stay with the Eagles in September, and he'll essentially become an unrestricted free agent after this contract voids Feb. 17. Sweat has now totaled 43 sacks across the last six regular season with the Eagles, and he could stand to cash in on the free-agent market ahead of the 2025 campaign.

Sweat (ankle) is back in Sunday's game against the Commanders, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sweat went down with an ankle injury and was forced out of the game in the second quarter. The starting linebacker has now returned to the outing which bodes well for the severity of the injury.

Sweat suffered an ankle injury and is questionable to return Sunday against the Commanders, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sweat went down with an ankle injury in the second quarter for Philly's away game. The starting linebacker's absence should give more opportunities to Jalyx Hunt and Charles Harris as long as he's sidelined.

Sweat (hip) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Sweat was limited by a hip issue during Wednesday's practice, but it doesn't appear to be severe as he was able to practice in full Thursday. Unless he suffers a setback, Sweat should be good to go against the Cowboys on Sunday. Through eight regular-season games, Sweat has logged 19 tackles (12 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and two pass breakups.

Sweat (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Sweat played 41 defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in Philadelphia's Week 9 win over the Jaguars; however, it appears he picked up a hip injury in the process. The veteran pass rusher will likely still play in the Eagles' Week 10 matchup against the Cowboys unless he downgrades to a DNP either Thursday or Friday.

Sweat recorded five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
The defensive end now has 2.0 sacks in 2024 to go along with 13 total tackles. Sweat has played on more than half of Philadelphia's defensive snaps in all five games this season. The seventh-year pro has recorded at least 6.0 sacks in four straight campaigns.

Sweat notched a sack for his only tackle in Sunday's Week 4 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Sweat's sack of Baker Mayfield late in the third quarter resulted in a two-yard loss. It was Sweat's first sack of the campaign, though he's been on the field plenty, having logged over half of the Eagles' defensive snaps in each of the team's first four games. Sweat is looking to extend a four-year streak of recording at least 6.0 sacks.

The Eagles restructured Sweat's contract ahead of the 2024 season Friday, Cayden Steele of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old defensive end's restructured contract allows him to make up to $13 million in 2024, with $10 million guaranteed, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Sweat saw a dip in production last season compared to the previous two years, but he was still fairly impactful nonetheless. The Florida State product appeared in all 17 of the Eagles' regular-season outings, logging 43 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks. Sweat is expected to remain one of the most productive players on Philadelphia's defense in 2024.
