The Philadelphia Eagles waived Davion Taylor on Wednesday afternoon, according to an official team announcement. This move was announced in conjunction with the Eagles claiming Ian Book off waivers from the New Orleans Saints.
Taylor’s departure is both surprising and unsurprising.
It’s surprising in that he showed some level of promise last year and he looked good early in camp this summer. The Eagles didn’t seem to be in a rush to move on from their 2020 third-round pick. Especially when they could reasonably keep him around as one of five linebackers.
