The Eagles watched six players from the 2017 roster sign elsewhere. Nine are still on the open market. Here’s an update:
Signed elsewhere
LeGarrette Blount, RB: The Eagles’ leading rusher landed with the Detroit Lions on a one-year, $4.5-million contract. Blount had a strong season with the Eagles and the league noticed — he lasted two months on the open market last offseason and two days this offseason. Blount will likely have a notable role for the Lions, who are coached by former New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia. Patricia knows Blount from their time in New England.
