Eagles Host Free-Agent Cornerback Nazeeh Johnson for Visit

The visit signals the Eagles' search for versatile depth.

Overview

  • Johnson, a former Chiefs defensive back, visited Philadelphia on Monday in a meeting first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and no signing has been announced.
  • He entered the league as the No. 259 pick in the 2022 draft and earned two Super Bowl rings with Kansas City.
  • In 2024 he logged his most defensive work with six starts, 56 tackles, one sack, and three pass breakups across 16 games.
  • He missed 2023 with a torn ACL and played only two games in 2025 due to a shoulder issue, which makes his medical evaluation key to any deal.
  • If added, he would likely compete for a 53-man spot as outside cornerback depth and a core special teamer, which is a common post-draft roster move for clubs assessing fit and health.
