The Philadelphia Eagles are shedding rookie heart Dylan McMahon to a apply squad poaching.
The Los Angeles Rams, who’re coping with a number of offensive line accidents, determined to signal McMahon to their lively roster.
It’s alternative for McMahon, who now will get a assured three-week wage along with a greater path to taking part in time.
It’s an unlucky growth for the Eagles, who’re shedding the participant they chose with a sixth-round decide (No. 190 total) within the 2024 NFL Draft.
McMahon appeared to point out promise in the summertime however apparently not sufficient to justify a spot on the Eagles’ roster, which got here as a shock to many. It was a aid when he was capable of clear waivers and make it again to the Eagles’ apply squad.
McMahon was clearly unlikely to assist the Eagles a lot within the quick time period. The crew determined to briefly elevate Nick Gates from the apply squad in Week 1 to be their backup heart behind Cam Jurgens. However McMahon appeared like developmental participant to have round for the long run.
After all, the Eagles shedding apply squad offensive linemen is nothing new. Final yr, Tyre Phillips, Julian Good-Jones, and Brett Toth all bought poached. Groups clearly have an affinity for blockers who’ve enrolled at Jeff Stoutland College. Shedding McMahon will be seen partially as the value of the Eagles’ common offensive line success.
McMahon’s departure means the Eagles now have an open apply squad spot to fill.
