Grade Philadelphia Eagles sign LB Isiah King
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Eagles add depth at linebacker with a low-risk UDFA signing from Idaho. Five positive headlines suggest King impressed scouts and his college coach during evaluation. UDFA contract signals practice squad/camp body role, not immediate contributor expectations. Fans see this as typical roster churn—developmental depth rather than impactful acquisition. King must earn playing time in training camp to justify roster spot retention.
**Philadelphia Eagles Sign LB Isiah King** The Philadelphia Eagles have signed linebacker Isiah King to a $1.0M AAV deal that earns a C+ grade from our Contract Value Index (CVI), representing a solid value proposition for a depth piece at the position. King's contract falls squarely into replacement-level territory from a financial standpoint, suggesting the Eagles view him as organizational depth rather than a starter, but the C+ grade indicates they're getting reasonable production relative to that modest investment. At $1.0M annually, Philadelphia is making a low-risk bet on a player who can contribute on special teams and provide linebacker depth without breaking the bank. The signing reflects smart roster construction, as teams need affordable players who can step in when needed while not commanding significant cap space. This type of move exemplifies how successful franchises build depth charts — finding players whose performance justifies their salary slot even if they're not marquee names.
