Eagles Sign LB Chandler Martin to Two-Year Deal After ACL Tear

Philadelphia takes a low-cost flier on a rehabbing special-teams linebacker.

Overview

  • The Eagles agreed to a two-year contract with inside linebacker Chandler Martin, according to multiple NFL reporters.
  • Martin tore his ACL with the Ravens on the opening kickoff in Week 13 last season, which ended his rookie year.
  • An undrafted pickup out of Memphis, he made Baltimore’s roster and played three regular-season games on special teams with five tackles in the two games before his injury.
  • At 23 years old and listed around 6-foot and 229 pounds, he is viewed as a developmental option whose size is smaller than many NFL inside linebackers.
  • He posted big numbers in college, including 206 tackles, 10 sacks, and three forced fumbles over two seasons at Memphis, which gives the Eagles a low-risk upside bet if his rehab stays on track.
