Free-agent safety Johnathan Cyprien is signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday.
Cyprien, who did not play last season after tearing his ACL in training camp, became a free agent when the Tennessee Titans released him in early March.
Cyprien, who signed a four-year deal worth $25 million with the Titans in 2017, became expendable after safety Kenny Vaccaro emerged as a key player for the team. The Titans announced Cyprien’s release on the same day they signed Vaccarro to a new four-year contract on March 11.
As the Titans’ starting strong safety, Cyprien posted 38 tackles and a sack in his only season with the team. He was placed on injured reserve after the ACL injury last season.
The Jaguars selected Cyprien in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft with the 33rd overall pick. He has 511 career tackles to go along 17 pass deflections, 4 forced fumbles, 3 sacks and 2 interceptions.
