The Eagles announced on Tuesday that they have released TE Albert Okwuegbunam after designating him to return last month following core muscle surgery.
Okwuegbunam, 26, was a three-year starter at Missouri and earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2017. The Broncos selected him with the No. 118 pick in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Okwuegbunam was entering the final year of his four-year, $4,044,042 rookie contract that included a $749,042 signing bonus when the Broncos traded him to the Eagles prior to the start of last season.
He then signed a one-year deal to remain with the Eagles back in February.
In 2023, Okwuegbunam appeared in four games for the Eagles but didn’t record any statistics.
