Running back AJ Dillon and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a one-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Dillon sat out last season because of a neck injury. He ran for 2,428 yards and 16 touchdowns in his first four seasons with Green Bay.

Dillon provides a backup behind Saquon Barkley, the 2024 AP Offensive Player of the Year who set an NFL record for most yards rushing in a regular season and playoffs combined with 2,504, helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl.

Kenny Gainwell, who got 75 carries in Philadelphia last season, left for Pittsburgh in free agency.

The 25-year-old Dillon has averaged 4.1 yards per carry in his career.

The Eagles announced fullback and linebacker Ben VanSumeren is returning on a one-year contract, as confirmed by multiple sources including the team’s official announcements. VanSumeren, a key contributor on special teams, played in 11 games before a knee injury sidelined him last season.

A day after defensive tackle Milton Williams and edge rusher Josh Sweat accepted offers to leave Philly via free agency, the Super Bowl champs on Tuesday agreed to send safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans for guard Kenyon Green and a swap of late-round draft picks, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.

Green, who was the 15th overall pick in the 2022 draft, started 23 games for Houston over two seasons. He didn’t play in 2023 because of a shoulder injury.

The Texans also agreed to trade left tackle Laremy Tunsil to Washington on Monday.

The Buffalo Bills moved to upgrade their defense, bringing in pass rusher Joey Bosa on a one-year, $12.6 million deal to replace the departing Von Miller.

The Minnesota Vikings continued an aggressive reconstruction of their interior lines by agreeing to terms on contracts with former Washington defensive tackle Jonathan Allen (three years, $60 million) and former Indianapolis guard Will Fries (five years, $88 million), who followed center Ryan Kelly from the Colts to the Vikings.
