On Monday, we wrote about five free agents the Philadelphia Eagles could target after selecting five prospects in the NFL draft. Former Redskins linebacker Zach Brown was one of the players, and on Friday morning, Howie Roseman made the call.
The Eagles have signed Brown to a one-year deal.
Brown played college football at the University of North Carolina and was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. Over the last two seasons, Brown started 25 games for the Redskins, totaling 223 tackles and is pretty productive in passing situations as well.
Brown was released last month in a move that saved the Redskins $3.88 million.
The 29-year-old Brown was ranked No. 29 on NFL.com’s top free agent’s list and was the NFL’s third-ranked middle linebacker, per Pro Football Focus.
