Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Smael Mondon has reportedly signed his rookie deal following the 2025 NFL Draft.

With the 2025 NFL Draft concluded, this year's draft selections have begun signing their rookie deals as they prepare to start their careers at the professional level.

The latest player to do so is Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Smael Mondon, who has reportedly signed his rookie contract. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal is expected to be worth roughly $4.6 million and will span over the next four seasons.

Mondon, a fifth-round selection in this year's draft was a member of the Bulldogs’ 2021 recruiting class and was a massive defensive piece during Georgia’s 2022 national championship season. The linebacker routinely played through injuries and even elected to return for last season in 2024, where he turned in a 57-tackle and boasted a career-high in pass deflections.

As a former member of the Georgia Bulldogs, Mondon now joins a plethora of former teammates and Bulldogs that will provide him with an excellent opportunity to grow as a player. The Eagles will look for their rookie linebacker to help them secure a second-straight Super Bowl victory.
