The Philadelphia Eagles are signing veteran free agent linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, according to an announcement from his agent.
This move doesn’t come as a total surprise. The Eagles brought Ellerbe to Philly for a workout a couple weeks ago. Here’s what we wrote at the time.
Ellerbe, 31, has played in 77 career NFL games and made 42 starts since entering the league in 2009. During that span, he’s recorded 272 tackles, 10.5 sacks, 13 passes defensed, three interceptions, and two forced fumbles.
The Baltimore Ravens signed Ellerbe, who went to Georgia, as an undrafted rookie free agent.
