"I know I probably wasn't your favorite player over the past decade, but Philadelphia Eagles fans I'm fired up to be playing for you guys now!" Kerrigan wrote on Instagram on Monday.
Kerrigan menaced the Eagles offense for the last decade.
Does Ryan Kerrigan pay himself now since he's owned the Eagles for a decade? How does that work?

Kerrigan had 5 1/2 sacks last season for the NFC East champions but played a career-low 38% of the snaps. He joins veteran Brandon Graham, Derek Barnett and Josh Sweat on Philadelphia's defensive end rotation.
The Eagles had 49 sacks last season. Graham led the team with eight.
