Defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins has agreed to restructure his contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jenkins signed a $25 million, five-year deal last offseason and had 5.5 sacks, seven tackles for loss, and 61 total tackles in his first season with the team. Jenkins spent his first seven seasons with Green Bay.

''We are very excited about having Cullen back on our football team,'' Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Tuesday. ''Cullen made an immediate impact for us this year on and off the field. We look forward to a great future together with him in an Eagles uniform.''

Philadelphia went 8-8 last season.
