Eagles Sign Versatile OL Nick Gates, Release CB Goodrich

Former Giants and Commanders lineman Nick Gates joins Philadelphia, adding depth and experience to the offensive line.

Nick Gates, a five-year NFL veteran, has played for the Giants and Commanders before joining the Eagles.
Philadelphia released cornerback Mario Goodrich to make room for Gates on the roster.
Gates has experience at multiple positions on the offensive line, primarily as a center.
He overcame a severe leg injury in 2021, requiring seven surgeries, and returned to play 13 games last season.
Gates will compete for a backup center role and could also play guard if needed.
