The Eagles’ recent spending spree made Brent Celek a wealthy man yesterday.
Exactly one week after giving offensive tackle Winston Justice a four-year deal worth nearly $18 million if he finishes the contract, the team put together a six-year extension for its starting tight end that could be worth as much as $33 million if he earns the incentives.
The contract includes slightly less than $11 million in guaranteed money, a league source said. It will keep him with the team through 2016.
The deal signed by Celek is similar to a six-year extension tight end Jason Witten received from the Dallas Cowboys before the 2006 season. Witten is a five-time Pro Bowler and had already been to two Pro Bowls when he signed his deal.
Celek, 24, is a first-year starter in the midst of an outstanding season.
To be compared with and compensated like Witten is satisfying for Celek, who leads the Eagles with 54 receptions and is fifth among NFL tight ends with 601 receiving yards. His five touchdowns are tied for second among the league’s tight ends.
