Should The Eagles have interest in claiming Johnathan Abram ?

Johnathan Abram is looking for another team for the second time this season, as Tom Pelissero is reporting that the Packers are waiving the former first-round pick.

With their playoff hopes dwindling, Green Bay appears ready to develop safeties Dallin Leavitt, Tariq, and Carpenter, behind starters, Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage.

Abram has logged two tackles since being Claimed by Green Bay on November 9 after Las Vegas released the safety after being unable to find a trade partner.

Philadelphia will be without star safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and only have Reed Blankenship, K’Von Wallace, and Andre Chachere on the depth chart as replacements.

A star out of Mississippi State, Abram had slipped on the Raiders’ depth chart behind Duron Harmon and rookie Trevon Moehrig-Woodard.

Abram had a career-high 116 total tackles with four passes defended and an interception during 14 appearances in 2021, but his play slipped dramatically in 2022.

Abram has 40 total tackles and one pass defended through 12 games this season, and as a fourth-year player, he’ll be subject to waivers rather than outright release.
