Eagles Sign DT Ty Robinson to Bolster Defensive Line

Philadelphia, PA – May 16, 2025 – The Philadelphia Eagles have officially inked Ty Robinson, their fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, to a four-year rookie contract, marking another step in solidifying their defensive line. The announcement came on Thursday, just as the team prepares to defend their Super Bowl LIX title, with Robinson joining a talented rotation that includes Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Moro Ojomo.

Robinson, selected 111th overall out of Nebraska, brings a wrecking ball mentality to the Eagles’ defense. At 6’5” and 288 pounds, the 24-year-old led the Cornhuskers with 7 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss in 2024, earning Second-Team All-Big Ten honors. His relentless motor and versatility—he played both defensive tackle and even some fullback in college—drew praise from GM Howie Roseman, who called him a “Philadelphia kind of player” with elite character and quickness.

“I’m ready to work and contribute any way I can,” Robinson said during his introductory press conference, reflecting on his pre-draft meetings with the Eagles at the Senior Bowl. He’ll reunite with former Nebraska teammate Cam Jurgens, now a key piece of the Eagles’ offensive line. “We battled every day in practice,” Robinson added, noting their close bond.

The signing fills a gap left by Milton Williams, who joined the Patriots on a $104 million deal. Fans on X are buzzing about Robinson’s potential, with some calling him a “violent beast” who could shine in Vic Fangio’s rotation. Others highlight his 4.83 40-yard dash at the Combine, a rare feat for a man his size.

With A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts driving the offense, Robinson’s addition strengthens an already dominant roster. As the Philly Special Era rolls on, the Eagles are banking on their new DT to keep the pressure on in their quest for Super Bowl LX.
