Philadelphia Eagles sign DB Parry Nickerson to a 1-year deal

The Eagles finished the mandatory minicamp on Thursday and saw enough of one tryout player to sign him to a deal just one month before the start of training camp.

After trying out for the team during the three-day minicamp, free-agent defensive back Parry Nickerson signed a one-year deal with the team.

Nickerson played for the Dolphins and new Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio last season, appearing in five games, including a season-high 45 snaps in Philadelphia’s 31-17 win over Miami in Week 7.

Nickerson was selected in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL draft by the New York Jets out of Tulane and has spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, and Minnesota Vikings before joining the Dolphins last year.
