Philadelphia, PA – July 12, 2025
The Eagles are making tough calls! Philly cut their $2 million tight end signing, a former Colts standout, before he played a snap, shaking up the roster, sources told ESPN.
Signed in March, this tight end aimed to bolster Philly’s offense. But a crowded position room and lackluster camp performance led to a swift departure.
Kylen Granson, a 2021 fourth-round pick, joined on a one-year, $2 million deal. His 958 career yards couldn’t outshine competitors in a stacked Eagles lineup.
Granson battled Dallas Goedert, Grant Calcaterra, and Harrison Bryant for TE2. Calcaterra’s system familiarity and Bryant’s edge in OTAs sealed Granson’s fate.
The Eagles likely keep two tight ends, with Goedert locked in. Calcaterra’s growth and Bryant’s versatility outpaced Granson’s minimal minicamp impact, per NFL.com.
Fan reactions on X vary. @EaglesNation noted, “Tough cut, but Philly’s deep!” Others question if Granson deserved more time to prove his worth.
GM Howie Roseman’s move frees cap space for Philly’s Super Bowl LX chase. The decision reflects a focus on youth and system fit.
As training camp intensifies, Eagles Nation watches. Will this cut spark a new signing? Philly’s title defense hinges on Roseman’s bold roster bets.
