The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed safety Quintin Mikell to a four-year contract on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old Mikell has been a productive defensive back and key special teams performer for the Eagles since they signed him as a rookie free agent out of Boise State in 2003.
During that span, Mikell has posted a team-leading 108 special teams tackles, including a career-high 35 in 2006 and was voted by his teammates as the Eagles special teams MVP in 2005 and 2006.
On defense, Mikell has tallied 51 tackles, an interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 64 games.
"Quintin has been a really good football player for us," said Eagles general manager Tom Heckert. "He's a vital contributor for us on special teams and does a very solid job when he's on the field defensively. We're glad to keep him here in Philadelphia."
