The Philadelphia Eagles have re-signed DE Jason Babin to a contract with a set of new terms, the team announced. He was originally signed by the Eagles on August 4, 2009 and played in all four preseason games this summer, recording 14 tackles and three sacks.

A former first round draft choice of the Houston Texans in 2004, Babin has 15 sacks in 54 career games with the Texans, Seattle Seahawks, and Kansas City Chiefs.

A source said Babin's original one-year, $620,000 was technically terminated first then they re-signed him to a new contact. 

Currently, the team has seven defensive ends on the roster, but league sources said that the team was looking to trade 2008 third-round pick Bryan Smith.

Smith was inactive for all 16 regular season games last season as well as all three post-season games.

Should Philadelphia decide to keep Smith, it's unlikely he would contribute much since he was running with the third-team defense shortly after Babin originally signed with the Eagles back in early August.
