Randle will turn 25 in May. The former 2nd round pick out of LSU spent his first four seasons with the New York Giants. He has 188 career receptions for 2,644 yards and 20 touchdowns over that span. He finished 2015 with 57 receptions, 797 yards, and a career-high eight touchdowns. With the Giants likely facing a major financial commitment to Odell Beckham Jr. down the pipe, it was clear they did not have the capability to keep all their receivers under contract.
There are no solid terms of the contract as of now, but FoxSports NFL Insider Mike Garafolo has information that suggests the Eagles landed Randle on a relative bargain for a receiver trying to cash in next year on a 'prove-it' deal.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network has a report that fleshes out Garafolo's in terms of what the incentives could hit.

When there is official word on the contract details, we'll be sure to provide them. Randle joins Chris Givens as free agent additions to the wide receiver corps that the Eagles have made this offseason.
