The Eagles have started informing some players that they are being released.
PHILADELPHIA - The meatier decisions for Eagles GM Howie Roseman with the initial 53-man roster will be pushed back to Tuesday. Still, the trimming started today with some of the more obvious roster moves being leaked after the players were informed they were either being waived or released.
Scharping arrived after Matt Hennessy and before Nick Gates. Of that group, Gates seems the most likely to have a chance at the 53 with Hennessy’s work uninspiring before a back injury slowed things even further. Others who will reportedly be waived include receivers Austin Watkins and Griffin Hebert, as well as edge rusher Tarron Jackson, undrafted rookie free agent safety Andre Sam’, and tight end Kein Foelsch.
Watkins, 26, spent the majority of the 2023 season on Cleveland’s practice squad and has also spent some time with San Francisco and Tampa Bay, as well as the CFL and USFL. Jackson is what one personnel source described as a 4A player, a baseball analogy meaning too good for Triple-A but not gifted enough to excel in the show.
Sam, an older COVID-era undrafted rookie at 25, played six seasons in college – the first four at McNeese State before Year 5 at Marshall and finally finishing things in the SEC with powerhouse LSU where he excelled with 85 tackles and three interceptions.
