Eagles pick up WR Agholor's fifth-year option
The Philadelphia Eagles picked up wide receiver Nelson Agholor's fifth-year option on Monday, keeping him under contract through 2019.
Agholor, who turns 25 in May, is set to make $1.7 million in 2018, the fourth year of his rookie deal. His 2019 option, which is guaranteed for injury only, will be worth around $9.4 million in 2019.
The 20th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Agholor struggled through his first two seasons, totaling 59 catches for 648 yards and three touchdowns from 2015-16. However, he broke out for 62 grabs, 768 yards and eight scores in 2017, adding nine catches for 84 yards in the team's Super Bowl LII victory over the New England Patriots.
Agholor should remain the team's starting slot receiver in 2018. Philadelphia swapped out Torrey Smith (traded to the Carolina Panthers) for Mike Wallace (free agent from the Baltimore Ravens) this offseason and did not take a receiver in the draft over the weekend.
