The Arizona Cardinals are signing former Philadelphia Eagles star pass rusher Josh Sweat to a four-year, $76.4 million deal that includes $41 million guaranteed, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Sweat was a key cog in Philadelphia's defensive front on last season's Super Bowl title team, and will now reunite with former defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon in Arizona.

The seven-year NFL veteran has been a mainstay on Philadelphia's defense since taking over a full-time starting job in 2021. Over his seven seasons with the Eagles, Sweat has made 237 combined tackles, including 54 for loss and 43.0 sacks.

Sweat's departure will leave a significant hole for the Eagles to replace in 2025 as they look to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
