PHILADELPHIA — Some much-needed linebacker relief is on its way, as the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms on a one-year deal with veteran Shaquille Leonard on Monday.
Leonard was deciding between signing with the Eagles or the Dallas Cowboys. Those two teams play each other Sunday night in a pivotal NFC East matchup.
The Eagles have also inquired on tight end Zach Ertz, who played for the team 2013-21, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Ertz, who was released by the Arizona Cardinals last week, is still evaluating his options as of Monday afternoon, the source told Fowler.
Eagles starting tight end Dallas Goedert has been sidelined since fracturing his forearm in Week 9. The Eagles have received inconsistent play from the linebacker position for much of the season, due in part to injury.
