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.

By the numbers: In 16 games with Buffalo in 2025, Epenesa recorded 32 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and two interceptions. Over his career, he has tallied 24.0 total sacks and 135 tackles across 91 appearances.

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