The Philadelphia Eagles made another transaction on Friday, claiming safety Blake Countess off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams.
The move is an interesting one, as Countess is a solid player in a crowded group now. The Eagles signed Andrew Sendejo a few weeks back and just claimed safety Godwin Igwebuike as well. Countess, formerly a sixth-round draft pick with the Birds, he was cut prior to the start of the 2016 NFL season, then signed with Rams’, where he specialized in the role as a backup safety and special teams contributor.
In three seasons with LA, Countess played in 37 games, starting four as he amassed 44 tackles, one sack, and two interceptions.
