Bleeding Green Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles signed edge rusher A.J. Epenesa and offensive guard Michael Jordan while waiving linebackers Chandler Martin and Isiah King, and releasing Za’Darius Smith from the reserve/retired list.
- A.J. Epenesa, a 2020 second-round pick with a history of injuries, played 16 games last season and has recorded 24 sacks over six seasons with the Buffalo Bills; he previously failed a physical with the Cleveland Browns.
- Michael Jordan, an experienced left guard entering his eighth NFL year, joins the Eagles to provide depth, especially important given Landon Dickerson's injury concerns and potential retirement considerations.
- Za’Darius Smith's release from the reserve/retired list suggests he may seek to continue his NFL career elsewhere after unexpectedly retiring last fall.
- The Eagles are actively adjusting their roster ahead of training camp, with Howie Roseman expected to make further moves through the offseason and trade deadline.
