Freddie Martino, formerly of the Atlanta Falcons. The Eagles also released wide receiver John Harris and waived/injured defensive end Frank Mays due to a finger tendon injury.
Martino was originally signed by Atlanta as an undrafted free agent in May 2014 and spent much of his rookie season on the Falcons’ practice squad. His ability was on full display in the Falcons’ 2014 preseason finale against Jacksonville, as he blew by the defense for a 67-yard touchdown catch.
Prior to joining the Falcons, Martino was a four-year starter at Division II North Greenville. He tallied 3,766 yards and 26 touchdowns with the Crusaders, highlighted by his 2013 season in which he caught a Division II-record 146 passes.
