The Philadelphia Eagles were just bounced from the playoffs by the reigning Super Bowl-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Now, the Eagles are in planning mode for the 2022 NFL Draft, in which they have 3 first-round picks, and the 2022 season itself.
On Tuesday evening, the team announced it had signed 11 players to reserve/futures contracts, including former Alabama DB Jared Mayden and ex-LSU DB/LB JaCoby Stevens.
Mayden appeared in 4 games for the Eagles this year, recording 6 total tackles. Stevens played in the final 2 regular-season games for Philadelphia.
Both of them will now have a chance to earn spots and playing time on the 53-man roster for the 2022 season when the next league year begins.
