The Philadelphia Eagles announced the release of WRย Arrelious Benn on Friday.
#Eagles release WR Arrelious Benn.
โ Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) May 16, 2014
Benn, 24,ย was traded to the Eagles from Tampa Bay in return for aย 2013 sixth-round pick and a 2014 conditional selection.
Benn unfortunately suffered aย torn ACL last August, which subsequently forced him to miss the entire 2013 season.
Philadelphia has added some depth at receiver in the draft after they parted ways with DeSean Jackson a few months ago, so it appears as though they are focused on seeing what guys like Jordan Matthews andย Josh Huff are capable of with more reps this summer.
