The Eagles and tight end Richard Rodgers agreed on a one-year contract Wednesday, helping the Eagles with tight end depth they lost when Trey Burton left in free agency and they cut Brent Celek.
Rodgers, 26, played for the Green Bay Packers for the past four seasons. A 2014 third-round pick out of California, Rodgers has 25 career starts with 120 catches, 1,166 yards, and 13 touchdowns. He’s coming off a down year, totaling a career-worst 12 catches for 160 yards and a score. His best season came in 2015, when he recorded 58 catches for 510 yards and eight touchdowns.
