The Philadelphia Eagles officially signed former Army offensive tackle Brett Toth, according to an announcement from the team. Toth’s signing was first reported by ESPN earlier today.
In a corresponding roster move, the Eagles waived undrafted rookie free agent cornerback Jamalcolm “Jay” Liggins.
Coming from NAIA level Dickinson State (North Dakota), Liggins was always clearly a long shot to make the Eagles’ 53-man roster. It’s at least a little surprising he got cut, though, because he didn’t seem to look all that bad in the team’s two preseason games. Some Eagles reporters — myself included — have been projecting Liggins to make Philadelphia’s 10-man practice squad.
