Overview
- The Browns signed Epenesa to a one-year deal and later backed out of the agreement in the offseason, a reversal reported by media to be tied to a failed physical.
- Epenesa signed with the Philadelphia Eagles after the Browns' reversal and has joined a crowded edge group that General Manager Howie Roseman reshaped this offseason.
- Epenesa says he is “very healthy” despite a past history of concussion, pectoral, foot and neck injuries and he played in 16 games last season.
- At Eagles training camp he produced multiple would-be sacks and intercepted a pass in drills, and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio publicly praised his adaptation to new responsibilities.
- The signing gives the Eagles rotational edge depth lost when Jaelan Phillips left in free agency and could raise Epenesa’s value for playing time and his next contract if he maintains health and production.
