PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Philadelphia Eagles added some depth to their offensive line and signed guard Max Scharping, the team announced Monday.
The 27-year-old Scharping was a second-round pick in the 2019 NFL draft by the Houston Texans. He played three seasons with Houston and spent the last two years with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Over five seasons, Scharping appeared in 79 games, including 33 starts, although he did not play for the Bengals the past two seasons. Scharping has experience playing left and right guard.
The Eagles made several moves this offseason to address offensive line depth.
Philadelphia signed a former Temple University product and Atlanta Falcons offensive lineman Matt Hennessy in free agency. The Birds called up guard Trevor Keegan from the University of Michigan and center Dylan McMahon from North Carolina State University on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft.
After the draft, the Eagles signed the first New York Jets first round pick Mekhi Becton to a one-year contract.
In the ensuing 2024 season, all eyes will be on Philadelphia’s offensive line Jason Kelce’s retirement from the NFL.
