Right after the Philadelphia Eagles decided to announce the signing of both, Jake Elliott and Rick Lovato, the team also decided to cut one of their guys loose. It was to be expected, but nobody knew when it was going to happen. According to ESPN NFL Insider Field Yates, the Eagles have officially cut their veteran backup safety and special teams ace, Chris Maragos.
The 32-year-old safety has been with the Eagles since 2014. Although he wasn’t much of a game-changer when it came to the safety position, Maragos played a significant role on special teams for the Eagles.
