The Eagles recently drafted nine players and are set to sign some undrafted players as well. This has created some space on the roster for newcomers, prompting them to make some roster moves on Monday. According to the NFL’s daily transaction report, the Eagles have waived four players: defensive tackle Noah Elliss, wide receiver Griffin Hebert, defensive back Tiawan Mullen, and offensive lineman Lecitus Smith. Of these four, only Smith has regular season experience, although it was not with the Eagles. Smith had appeared in 10 games and made two starts for the Cardinals in 2022.
The Eagles are set to hold their rookie minicamp this weekend, and further roster moves could follow after their first opportunity to work with this year’s rookie class. In addition to cutting these four players, the Eagles have also officially announced the signing of tackle Mekhi Becton. Becton is a highly sought-after player who was taken by the New York Jets in the first round of the NFL draft but later traded to Dallas before being released earlier this week. The Eagles were able to acquire him for a relatively low cost due to his recent release and will be hoping that he can provide valuable depth along their offensive line.
