Shortly after trading Sydney Brown to the Falcons on Friday, the Eagles are replenishing their safety depth. The team has agreed to one-year deals with Marcus Epps and J.T. Gray, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic.
Philadelphia has plenty of familiarity with Epps, an Eagle from 2019-22 and again last season. Epps was a full-time starter in 2022, an NFC-winning campaign that ended with a loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. He then left for the Raiders’ two-year, $12MM offer in free agency. While Epps put together his second straight 17-start season to begin the contract, a torn ACL limited him to four games in 2024.
Just a week before the Eagles’ season opener last year, they brought back Epps in free agency. The 30-year-old went to play 12 games and start in four. Epps finished with 369 snaps (250 on defense, 119 on special teams) and 21 tackles.
