Carson Wentz has signed his rookie scale contract with the Eagles, the team announced on Thursday.
The contract is fully guaranteed for four years and $26.7 million, and includes a $17.6 million signing bonus.
Wentz was selected with the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft, after the Eagles completed a trade with the Cleveland Browns to move into that spot.
