27-Year-Old Defensive EndDE
Philadelphia Eagles
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sweat started 16 games and finished third on the Eagles defensive line in total defensive snaps (587) last season, resulting in career highs across the board. Sweat's 48 tackles, 11 sacks and 15 tackles for a loss all represented personal bests, while he also intercepted a pass for the first time, running it back for a score. The 2018 fourth-round pick has developed nicely over his five seasons in Philadelphia but will have to keep performing to maintain his snap count on a deep defensive line which gets Derek Barnett back from his ACL surgery.

Restructures deal
DEPhiladelphia Eagles
March 15, 2024
The Eagles restructured Sweat's contract ahead of the 2024 season Friday, Cayden Steele of NJ.com reports.
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2018
Sweat, a fourth-round pick in the 2018 draft, was part of the Eagles' defensive end rotation in his first three years in the league, but he stepped into a more important role last season. After Brandon Graham tore his Achilles early in the year, Sweat went on to start 13 games, setting career highs in tackles (45) and sacks (7.5), the latter of which tied for the team lead. Graham is back with the Eagles this season, but he's also 34 years old and coming off a major injury, so Sweat should see plenty of snaps.
In his third year, Sweat had his best campaign yet as a pro, registering 38 tackles and six sacks. Dubbed one of the Eagles' breakout defensive stars of training camp, he could be poised for an even better 2021.
Scouts widely hail the 6-5, 250-pound Sweat as a freakish athlete. He was the No. 1 high school recruit in the nation when he suffered a horrific knee injury that put not only his career in danger, but also future ownership of his leg. Due to league-wide concerns about the knee, the Eagles were able to snag him as a fourth-round draft pick. He'll be able develop under the tutelage of Fletcher Cox, Michael Bennett, Chris Long and company without the pressure of having to contribute right away. However, the rookie succeeds at getting after the quarterback, a major emphasis of defensive coordinator Jim Scwartz's system, so he could very well find himself with regular snaps. The 21-year-old has more than enough talent to pry his way into Philadelphia's rotation at end.
