Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jatavis Brown retired Sunday, choosing to end his NFL profession at 26 after just 4 seasons..
Brown, a complimentary agent addition in March, positioned his name on the reserve/retired list. According to ESPN, “the word internally was he merely felt it was time for him to step away.” Brown had actually signed an one-year offer that would pay him as much as $ 1.0475 million, including $550,000 in guarantees.
Brown remained in line to possibly start and be a special groups contributor. The Eagles roster consists of linebackers T.J. Edwards, Nate Gerry, Davion Taylor, Duke Riley, Alex Singleton, Shaun Bradley and Dante Olson..
The Chargers chose Brown out of Akron in the 5th round of the 2016 draft. At Akron, he was All-MAC first-team three years in a row.
