With A.J. Brown‘s departure nearing, the Eagles are making yet another receiver addition. Samori Toure has agreed to a deal with Philadelphia, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
Toure began his career with the Packers, seeing game action with them in 2022 and again in 2023. Having remained in the organization during the summer of 2024 he is familiar to Sean Mannion, whose coaching tenure began with Green Bay that year. Mannion is now the Eagles’ offensive coordinator.
After failing to survive roster cutdowns in 2024, Toure made an intra-divisional move by signing with the Bears on their practice roster. The former seventh-rounder landed a futures contract following that season, but he never wound up making any regular-season appearances with Chicago. Toure joined the Saints this past fall by signing to New Orleans’ taxi squad. He played in one game during the 2025 campaign.
This summer, Toure will aim to carve out a depth role on the Eagles’ WR depth chart. He will be joined by a familiar face in the form of Dontayvion Wicks, who was acquired via trade and given a one-year extension upon arrival by Philadelphia. Wicks also began his career with the Packers. This spring has been busy with respect to receiver acquisitions on the part of the Eagles. Marquise Brown was added in free agency before the team traded up in the first round of April’s draft to select Makai Lemon.
Those new arrivals will be joined by Toure and returnee DeVonta Smith during training camp. Brown remains on the roster for the time being, although Monday afternoon marks the beginning of the period where moving on from his contract will be viable from a cap perspective. Compensation with the Patriots is still a talking point, but a Brown-to-New England move remains the widespread expectation around the league.
Toure, 28, has totaled 23 appearances to date in his career. He has never operated as a regular on offense in the NFL, but he could serve in a backup role upon reuniting with Mannion and joining a significantly revamped Eagles WR room.
90 man roster depth but further evidence that AJ will be gone soon.
