The Eagles are adding another linebacker this offseason, with reports that the team is signing Oren Burks, formerly of the 49ers.
Former 49ers LB Oren Burks is signing a 1-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles worth up to $2.5M, per source.
Burks is a special teams standout who started 5 games in 2023 for SF.— Dianna Russini (@DMRussini) March 16, 2024Another team-friendly deal, worth up to $2.5 million, but the fact that he was such a contributor on special teams makes this signing worth while. The Eagles lost special teams captain LB Shaun Bradley for the 2023 season in the first preseason game, and now that he’s a free agent, Philly needs someone who can fill that role.
