The Philadelphia Eagles and All-Pro defensive end Reggie White reached agreement on a new contract, leaving a $1.5-million federal lawsuit in limbo.

Eagle President Harry Gamble announced the agreement at the federal courthouse in Philadelphia, where White was scheduled to open a civil suit against his former agent, Patrick Forte, now an Eagle executive.

White alleges that Forte neglected to inform him about an option year on his contract and that the agent was pursuing a job with the Eagles while simultaneously negotiating with them.
