Elijah Qualls - Pro Football Rumors

The Eagles’ receiving corps became a bit younger on Saturday. Two veterans brought in as possible depth pieces — Markus Wheaton and Kamar Aiken — were informed they will be released.

So was potential secondary cog De’Vante Bausby and rookie UDFA running back Josh Adams, given one of this year’s largest guarantees among the undrafted contingent. Philadelphia also placed safety Chris Maragos on its Reserve/PUP list, shelving him for at least six weeks.

Here are the players the Eagles will not be including on their initial 2018 53-man roster:

WR Kamar Aiken

Eagles Sign Seven Draft Picks

May 11th, 2017 at 4:30pm CST by Connor J. Byrne

With the notable exception of first-round defensive end Derek Barnett, all of the Eagles’ draft picks are now under contract. The Eagles have agreed to deals with seven members of their rookie class, per a team announcement. Here’s the list:

2-43: Sidney Jones, CB (Washington)
3-99: Rasul Douglas, CB (West Virginia)
4-118: Mack Hollins, WR (North Carolina)
4-132: Donnel Pumphrey, RB (San Diego State)
5-166: Shelton Gibson, WR (West Virginia)
5-184: Nathan Gerry, S (Nebraska)
6-214: Elijah Qualls, DT (Washington)

The biggest name included in that group belongs to Jones, who underwent surgery on a torn Achilles in March and won’t return to the field until the fall, at the earliest. Jones’ injury, which occurred on the final rep of his pro day, caused his draft stock to slip after it appeared he’d be a first-rounder. The 6-foot, 181-pounder was a 30-game starter at Washington, where he tallied eight interceptions.
