Eagles Making Five Moves, Signing RB Elijah Mitchell

They also cut RB Jaydon Blue and waived RB Carson Steele with an injury designation. Philadelphia additionally released C James Brockermeyer and RB Ian Wheeler from the practice squad. 

Mitchell, 28, was a sixth-round pick out of Louisiana by the 49ers in the 2021 draft. He signed a four-year rookie deal with the team in May of that year worth $3,663,568, including a $183,568 signing bonus.

Mitchell was an unrestricted free agent for the first time this past offseason and signed with the Chiefs, but they waived him in mid-December. He later caught on with the Patriots and re-signed to a futures deal after the season.

New England cut him loose earlier this offseason and he caught on with the Eagles. However he was later cut with an injury settlement. 

In 2025, Mitchell appeared in one game for the Chiefs.
