Dickerson shared his emotional sentiments during a press conference at the NovaCare Complex, according to the Philadelphia Eagles. He stated, “It just demonstrates a lot of respect and trust in me to continue to grow as a player, develop, and do good things for this team and this city.” As I enter my fourth year, I believe I am ready to step up and take on additional leadership responsibilities. The extension demonstrates the respect and promise that the coaches and Howie (Roseman) see in me as a player. That only motivates me to work harder every day to improve my game.”
He added, “Being here has been a fantastic bright moment in my life. We (his family) had no plans to go somewhere else. Guys, when they leave our company and go somewhere else, they miss everything about it. For me, there was no question about how much I wanted to stay here, stick around here, and ideally be here for the rest of my career.”
Dickerson will now continue his career with the Eagles, where he has a bright future with one of the league’s best teams.
