The Eagles hosted running back Ryan Mathews on Wednesday morning, and it didn't take long for the two sides to reach a contract.
The deal is for three years and worth $11.5 million, with $5 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Mathews known for his history of injuries in San Diego — he's only played in all 16 games once (2013) in five seasons. But when healthy, he can be a productive back.
The Eagles have had an interesting offseason sp far at the tailback position. The team traded LeSean McCoy to Buffalo, saw Frank Gore bail out of a deal and reportedly have a "mutual interest" with DeMarco Murray.
There's no telling whether the Mathews signing will halt Philly's pursuit of Murray.
