Inks deal with Philly
Epenesa (undisclosed) signed with the Eagles on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Epenesa reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with the Browns in late March, but Cleveland ultimately backed out of the deal following his physical. He now appears to have moved past whatever issue was uncovered, as he's been brought in by the Eagles. The 2020 second-round pick from Iowa appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Bills last year, recording 32 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and four passes defensed, with two interceptions. Now in Philadelphia, Epenesa will likely operate as one of the team's top reserve edge rushers during the 2026 season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Epenesa started 13 of his 17 regular-season appearances in 2024, tallying a career-high 39 tackles (23 solo), including 6.0 sacks, plus two pass breakups and two forced fumbles. That marked the 2020 second-round pick's first time operating as a regular starter in Buffalo's pass-rush corps, but the addition of Joey Bosa is a signal that Epenesa has already lost his grip on a regular gig alongside Greg Rousseau. Still, Epenesa's floor is consistent rotational work, and Bosa has regularly struggled to stay on the field approaching his age-30 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Finally inks contract
Epenesa signed a deal with the Eagles on Wednesday after having had an agreement in principle with the Browns earlier this offseason, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran pass rusher had come to agreement on a one year-deal with the Browns on March 18, but Cleveland ultimately exercised its right to not finalize the contract following Epenesa's physical. Epenesa, who spent the first six seasons of his career with the Bills, has 24.0 career sacks, but only 2.5 of those occurred over the 16 regular-season games he played in 2025.
