PHILADELPHIA (AP) -The Philadelphia Eagles rookies Jack Ikegwuonu, Joe Mays and King Dunlap all agreed to four-year contracts Tuesday.

Ikegwuonu, a cornerback and fourth-round pick out of Wisconsin, will likely miss the 2008 season with a right knee injury he sustained while working out for the draft. He was an All-Big Ten selection as a junior before declaring for the draft.

Mays, a linebacker and sixth-round pick, played for North Dakota State and had 90 tackles and 2.5 sacks as a senior last season.

Dunlap, an offensive tackle, was a seventh-round pick out of Auburn.

Seven of Philadelphia's 10 draft picks are under contract.
