Eagles Trade Sydney Brown, Add Marcus Epps and J.T. Gray on One-Year Deals

The additions emphasize short-term depth, pairing Epps’ familiarity with Gray’s special-teams pedigree.

Overview

  • Philadelphia sent safety Sydney Brown to the Falcons earlier Friday, according to multiple reports.
  • The Eagles reached one-year agreements with Marcus Epps and J.T. Gray less than an hour after the trade, per Adam Schefter and Tom Pelissero.
  • Epps returns after appearing in 12 games for Philadelphia last season, including four starts, and recording 21 tackles with one for loss.
  • Gray is a proven special-teams ace with first-team All-Pro honors in 2021 and second-team recognition in 2024, and he logged special-teams snaps for Denver and Tampa Bay in 2025.
  • Both signings stabilize depth for now, and reporting suggests the secondary could still be addressed through the draft or additional moves.
