Terrell Edmunds Eagles contract: How much will former Steelers safety earn in 2023?

After five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, safety Terrell Edmunds has signed a one-year contract with the in-state rival Philadelphia Eagles. The former first-round draft pick out of Virginia Tech did give the Steelers solid production on the field the last few seasons and was typically healthy throughout his tenure.

He will likely fill the empty spot that C.J. Gardner-Johnson left behind on the Philadelphia Eagles roster after he signed with the Detroit Lions.

His contract is also said to include other individual incentives that could pay out over $350,000 more to the deal. Many are wondering why the safety would take a smaller deal than the Steelers paid him last year with a $2.5 million contract.

Some fans are wondering whether the Pittsburgh Steelers even offered Edmunds a contract this offseason. Perhaps this is another step in their plan to reorganize the secondary.

Terrell Edmunds injury history

With a torn labrum in his left shoulder, the now 26-year-old played the majority of his final season at Virginia Tech. He decided to have surgery to repair his labrum and get ready for the NFL Draft in mid-November of that year. He was unable to play in the final three games of the season.

Toward the end of the 2021 NFL season, he suffered a minor groin injury that required him to be listed on the injury report.

In October 2022, he suffered a mild concussion in the Pittsburgh Steelers' matchup against the New York Jets. He collided with Jets running back Michael Carter as both players attempted to get the ball in the air.

Coach Tomlin on injuries:
Terrell Edmunds - concussion protocol
Minkah Fitzpatrick - knee
Cam Sutton - groin/hamstring
Cam Heyward - elbow/ankle
Ahkello Witherspoon - hamstring still an issue and not expected to play

Others being monitored and participation will be the guide.

Other than that, he was rather healthy during his tenure, playing 75 of 79 NFL games.
