The Philadelphia Eagles were the only NFL team to contact the Tampa Police Department regarding the recent arrest that caused the San Francisco 49ers to release 2017 first-round pick Reuben Foster, according to a report from USA TODAY’s A.J. Perez.
The fact that the Eagles looked into Foster’s situation shows they had some level of interest in the 24-year-old linebacker. Philadelphia was not seriously interested enough to put a waiver claim in on him, however. If they were, they would’ve been the team to successfully claim him instead of Washington.
