Eagles Waive Derek Barnett

The Philadelphia Eagles are waiving defensive end Derek Barnett on Friday, according to sources. The 14th overall pick of the 2017 NFL draft is expected to draw plenty of interest and find a new home quickly. Barnett missed the Eagles' last two games due to personal reasons and has also been bothered by an ankle injury in 2023. The 27-year-old hasn't been as productive in 2023 coming off pectoral surgery from last year, but he will be plenty attractive to teams looking for defensive line help the rest of the way. Barnett only has three tackles (one solo) on the year in eight games played, but he has racked up 21.5 sacks in 73 career NFL games (45 starts) since 2017 with Philadelphia.
