The Eagles signed free agent defensive tackle Zion Wilson, the team announced.
Ryan Fowler of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that Wilson’s deal includes a $25,000 signing bonus and $225,000 in guaranteed money.
Wilson played at East Carolina before transferring to Virginia after last season, but the NCAA denied his sixth-year waiver for 2026 last week.
He began his career as a walk-on offensive lineman before switching to the defensive line before the 2024 season.
Wilson appeared in 13 games in 2024, playing 70 snaps on special teams, and became a full-time starter at defensive tackle in 2025. He totaled 42 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and seven sacks last season.
