According to Pro Football Talk, the Eagles are signing DT Akeem Spence to a one-year deal Tuesday.
Spence addresses the team’s need at defensive tackle following the season-ending injury to Malik Jackson.
Spence, 27, is a former sixth-round pick by the Buccaneers back in 2013. He finished his four-year, $2,644,424 rookie contract with Tampa Bay before signing a three-year, $10.5 million contract with the Lions in 2017.
The Lions traded Spence to the Dolphins in 2018 for a conditional seventh-round draft pick. Miami somewhat surprisingly released Spence during the preseason this year.
In 2018, Spence appeared in all 16 games for the Dolphins and recorded 42 tackles and two sacks. Pro Football Focus graded him as the No. 105 overall defensive lineman out of 112 qualifying players.
