Despite leading his team in tackles over the past two seasons, Alex Singleton won’t receive a tender. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter (via Twitter), the Eagles won’t be tendering the linebacker, making him a free agent.
The 2015 first-round pick found himself with three different organizations during his rookie campaign, and he ended up having to spend three seasons in the CFL, where he earned All Star appearances and a Most Outstanding Defensive Player Award.
The Eagles gave him another shot in the NFL in 2019, and following a first season with the organization where he exclusively played on special teams, Singleton established himself as one of the most dependable members of the defense over the past two seasons.
After finishing with a team-leading 120 tackles in 2020, Singleton took it to another level in 2021. The 28-year-old finished this past season with 137 tackles to go along with four passes defended in 16 games (eight starts).
You’re making it sound as if he was an NFL first round pick when he was actually undrafted. You should avoid confusion and make it clear he was drafted in the first round in the CFL.
this feels like a mistake
I was a first round pick for kickball in 5th grade. And that’s American kickball, not that Canadian kickball.
His PFF grades stink, but the Eagles haven’t been abused on the ground the last two years, judging by their ypc allowed, so is it his coverage skills that stink?
Love his effort and nose for the ball, but he has limitations. I hope he resigns, he has value as a depth piece and special teams standout.
