What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles have signed veteran defensive end A.J. Epenesa following the conclusion of the team’s mandatory minicamp. Epenesa, a former second-round selection who spent six seasons with the Buffalo Bills, joins the roster after a previous one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns fell through earlier this offseason.

Why it matters: The move provides much-needed veteran depth to the Philadelphia Eagles edge-rushing group. Epenesa's arrival follows the team's decision to waive two linebackers to create roster flexibility ahead of training camp.

What to watch: Epenesa will compete for a rotational role during training camp as Philadelphia finalizes its defensive front for the 2026 season.
