Eagles Cut 20+ Players, Down To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 3:55pm CST by Zachary Links

The Eagles are ready to fly into Week 1. On Tuesday, they made a series of moves to get down to the 53-man roster max. Here’s the full rundown:

Released

Waived

S Grayland Arnold
G/T Kayode Awosika
WR Travis Fulgham
WR John Hightower
RB Jason Huntley
CB Michael Jacquet
CB Craig James
DE Matt Leo
G Sua Opeta
WR Andre Patton
C/G Ross Pierschbacher
S Elijah Riley
LB JaCoby Stevens
DT Raequan Williams

Placed on IR

S Blake Countess

Placed on Reserve/COVID List

DT T.Y. McGill

The Birds also freed up a spot earlier today by trading offensive lineman Matt Pryor (and a 2022 seventh-round pick) to the Colts for a sixth-round choice.

The release of wide receiver Travis Fulgham was one of today’s more notable moves. Fulgham played a big role for the Eagles last year as the team was decimated by WR injuries. However, they didn’t see enough this summer to keep him on the 53-man roster. With Fulgham gone, the Eagles are left with J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Jalen Reagor, DeVonta Smith, Greg Ward, and Quez Watkins as their Week 1 receivers.

Eagles Sign 7 UDFAs

May 14th, 2021 at 10:55am CST by Zachary Links

The Eagles signed seven undrafted free agents on Friday, per a club announcement:

WR Jhamon Ausbon, Texas A&M
G Kayode Awosika, Buffalo
DE JaQuan Bailey, Iowa State
C Harry Crider, Indiana
WR Trevon Grimes, Florida
QB Jamie Newman, Wake Forest/Georgia

The Eagles agreed to terms with Newman shortly after the end of the draft. Newman served as Wake Forest’s starter in 2019 and threw for 26 touchdowns. Then, he transferred to Georgia last year, but opted out of the season. Since the Eagles did not draft a QB, the 6’4″ passer may have a chance to stick behind Jalen Hurts and Joe Flacco.
