Another member of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2017 roster might be moving on. Free agent defensive back Jaylen Watkins is visiting with the San Francisco 49ers and other teams this week, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo.
Watkins was set to be a restricted free agent this offseason but the Eagles declined to tender him, making Watkins unrestricted and free to sign with any team.
The 26-year-old Watkins played 16.3% of the Eagles’ defensive snaps in 2017. He began the season as the team’s fourth safety and top backup at cornerback.
