Former Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson joins the Eagles

Two of the Vikings' best undrafted free agents the past six years are joining forces in Philadelphia.

Free agent linebacker Eric Wilson has agreed to a one-year, $3.25 million prove-it deal with an Eagles team that badly needed an upgrade at his position. Undrafted out of Cincinnati in 2017, Wilson reunites with former Vikings safety Anthony Harris, who also grew from longshot to special teamer to starter. Harris, who was undrafted out of Virginia in 2015, signed with the Eagles last month.

Wilson made the Vikings as a special teams standout before becoming a versatile, athletic and durable rotational defender in 2018-19.
