The Eagles made the signing of Rashaad Penny official at 4pm on Wednesday and that left Miles Sanders without a spot on the roster.
Per Adam Caplan, Sanders will be joining the Carolina Panthers on a four-year deal.
Sanders will join Frank Reich’s offense and re-join Duce Staley.
Sanders racked up the first 1,000-yard season of his career in 2022 and played himself into what should be a pay day (though the money on the deal was not readily available).
Sanders would figure to be the lead back in Carolina, so it’s a good opportunity for more reps than he’s seen previously.
A Pittsburgh native, Penn State letterman and second-round pick of the Eagles, this would be the first time Sanders plays for a team that isn’t based in PA.
Update: The deal for Sanders is reportedly worth $25 million. That comes out to $6.25 APY and would net the Eagles a sixth-round compensatory pick based on the benchmarks set for the 2023 draft.
That $6.25 million mark is also notable as the Eagles will be paying Gainwell, Penny and Scott less than that combined.
