The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former Denver Broncos safety Caden Sterns, the team announced Sunday morning.
Sterns, 24, was waived by the Broncos last Monday. He was claimed off waivers by the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday but was waived on Thursday with a failed physical designation. Sterns then cleared waivers and became a free agent. He’ll now join his third team in less than a week after signing with the Eagles.
In Philadelphia, Sterns will reunite with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who served as Denver’s head coach when Sterns was a rookie in 2021. Sterns joins Philly’s safety depth chart that includes C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Reed Blankenship, Tristin McCollum and James Bradberry.
The Eagles were previously connected to ex-Broncos safety Justin Simmons, but he remains a free agent. Simmons, 30, visited the New Orleans Saints last week but left his visit without a contract. He is arguably the most notable free agent still available.
Denver, meanwhile, is moving forward with Brandon Jones, P.J. Locke, JL Skinner and Devon Key at safety.
