The Eagles enjoy investing in former 49ers draft picks, and Howie Roseman added another potential contributor to the mix. Tim McManus reports that Philadelphia signed athletic tight end Cameron Latu to a Reserve/Futures deal.
Latu (6-5, 244), 24, was selected by San Francisco with pick No. 101 in the 2023 draft out of Alabama. He has not played in a regular-season NFL game.

After getting released by the 49ers at final cuts this summer, he spent most of this season on the Browns’ practice squad but was not elevated for a game, and Latu’s rookie season in 2023 ended before it began with a knee injury that needed surgery.
Latu joins running back Trey Sermon, running back Tyrion Davis-Price, and wide receiver Danny Gray as former 49ers draft picks who have joined the Eagles. At Alabama, Latu played 26 games and caught 56 passes for 787 yards and 12 touchdowns.
