The Philadelphia Eagles waived linebacker Chandler Martin on June 1, 2026, following the signing of receiver Samori Toure, previously with the Green Bay Packers. Martin, who joined the Eagles as an undrafted free agent after a collegiate career at Tennessee State and Memphis, played three games for the Baltimore Ravens in 2025. His tenure with the Eagles was brief but marked by a strong showing on special teams, where he recorded five tackles. The Eagles' linebacker group is highly competitive, with established starters like Zack Baun and rookie Jihaad Campbell, who is recovering from shoulder surgery. Young players like Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Smael Mondon Jr. are poised to compete for roster spots as the team heads into training camp.
