Eagles to sign former Jaguars TE Dan Arnold to 1-year deal

Former Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Dan Arnold reached an agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Arnold, 28, was acquired by the Jaguars in a 2021 trade that sent former first-round pick C.J. Henderson. In eight games immediately after the trade, Arnold caught 28 passes for 324 yards.

After the Jaguars added Evan Engram during the 2022 offseason, Arnold had a smaller role with the Jaguars and caught only nine passes for 135 yards in his first full season with the team.

Jacksonville used the franchise tag to retain Engram and allowed both Arnold and fellow tight end Chris Mahertz to reach free agency. Manhertz signed with the Denver Broncos in March to a two-year deal. The Jaguars addressed their lack of tight end depth by drafting tight end Brenton Strange in the second round of the 2023 NFL draft.

The Jaguars aren’t eligible to receive a compensatory pick for the loss of Arnold, as any player signed after May 2 doesn’t count toward the awarding of those selections.
