The Philadelphia Eagles added safety and linebacker depth on Friday when they signed Johnathan Cyprien to a one-year deal. According to Mike Kaye of NJ.com, the Birds will release undrafted rookie linebacker, Joey Alfieri.
The Eagles confirmed the move moments ago.
Alfieri, who was a college teammate of JJ Arcega-Whiteside, had 165 total tackles (26.5 for loss), 14 sacks, two interceptions, six pass breakups and two forced fumbles in four years of collegiate action.
The former Stanford linebacker was in a log jam for playing time behind fellow rookie T.J. Edwards, along with Zach Brown, Nigel Bradham, Kamu Grugier-Hill, Nathan Gerry and others.
