Five RBs just isn\u2019t enough, apparently, because the team is reportedly signing former Cowboys rusher Jaydon Blue, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/adamschefter\/status\/2094573850583318923?s=46&amp;t=SvLa8OBwkcFGskreggcq7A\" rel=\"nofollow\">according to Adam Schefter.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Blue was a fifth-round draft pick for Dallas in 2025, and he finished his rookie season with 38 carries for 129 yards and one touchdown. Drafted out of Texas, the RB also had one catch last year for five yards, and did get some snaps on special teams, returning three kicks for 72 yards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Overall, he seems like a young, versatile player, who the Eagles see enough potential in to bring him to Philadelphia. It seems surprising that the team would carry six running backs, but if Sean Mannion\u2019s offense leans more on the run game, it\u2019s always good to have depth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Eagles kept three running backs on the 53-man roster \u2014 Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1036279,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,76139,97161,62,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-1036278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","tag-philadelphia-eagles-roster","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117193869515827073","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1036278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1036278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1036278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1036279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1036278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1036278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1036278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
