Justice Extended

What a remarkable turn of events for Winston Justice. Notorious for his 8 sack meltdown vs. the Giants and on the verge of being released this summer, Justice has found a home on the right side of the line and played so well the Eagles just extended his contract by 4 years.

Incredible.

ESPN's Matt Mosely reports:

Right tackle Winston Justice has signed a four-year contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Justice's deal is worth $18.15 million, including a $6 million signing bonus, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The team announced the deal on Tuesday. Justice could have become an unrestricted free agent after this season. A second-round pick in 2006, Justice has started every game this season after starting only one in his first three years in the NFL. He replaced Shawn Andrews, who didn't take a snap and was placed on injured reserve with a season-ending back injury. Jon Runyan had started every game at right tackle for the Eagles since 2000, but he wasn't re-signed after last season and remains a free agent.
