On Monday, the Atlanta Falcons signed wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and placed Jared Bernhardt on the reserve/retired list. After impressing the coaching staff during rookie minicamp, the 26-year-old wideout has earned a roster spot just as Atlanta is set to begin organized team activities.

Arcega-Whiteside was drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. During his three seasons in Philly (2019-2021), Arcega-Whiteside recorded 16 catches for 290 yards and one touchdown.

His best season came as a rookie, catching 10 balls for 169 receiving yards and a score. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound wideout will have to stand out in order to make Atlanta’s 53-man roster in a few months.

Bernhardt made the roster last season after an impressive training camp performance, but he appeared in just two games. It’s unclear why he appears to be retiring. Make sure to check out the team’s updated 90-man roster.

Philadelphia Eagles: 7 biggest questions entering the 2023 NFL offseason

We’re looking at the 7 biggest questions for the Philadelphia Eagles entering the 2023 NFL offseason

With the Super Bowl in the rearview mirror, the Eagles and 31 other NFL teams will start the process of financially retooling with the goal of advancing to the postseason.

Between the 2023 NFL draft, free agency, and more, Philadelphia will look to acquire the pieces needed for a return trip to the postseason.

With the NFL offseason now in full swing, here are the seven biggest questions the Eagles need to answer.

Stay or Go: Predicting the fates of Eagles free agents in 2023

With the NFL’s new league year fast approaching, we’re predicting which Philadelphia Eagles free agents should stay or go

The NFL is a continuously evolving business, and with all eyes, on the 2023 offseason, it is never too early to look at the key players who’ll be entering free agency.

Philadelphia has 18 guys who could hit the open market and one ERFA who’ll be looking to return to the Eagles in some compacity.

Miles Sanders had a Pro Bowl season but could find big money elsewhere, while players like James Bradberry, Kyzir White, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and Javon Hargrave will look for big paydays.

Team GM Howie Roseman will be busy doing research on veterans and top prospects with the draft just a couple of months away.

With the scouting combine set to start, we’re predicting whether these Eagles’ free agents stay with the team or go via free agency.

Updated look at Eagles 18 pending free agents for 2023

With the #SuperBowl now in the rearview mirror, here’s an early look at the Eagles’ 18 pending free agents for the 2023 NFL offseason

The Eagles fought valiantly and blew a 10-point lead, but in the end, the Chiefs made all the big plays and secured a 38-35 victory in Super Bowl LVII.

The NFL is a continuously evolving business, and with all eyes on the scouting combine, it is never too early to look at the key players who’ll be entering free agency.

Panthers work out former Eagles 2nd-round pick

The Panthers worked out former Eagles second-round pick J.J. Arcega-Whiteside on Friday.

Yes, NFL teams are allowed to work out free agents even if they’ve had a new head coach for only 24 or so hours. And that’s exactly what the Carolina Panthers did on Friday.

Per the league transaction wire, the Panthers worked out wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside.

Before his jump to the NFL, Arcega-Whiteside spent four years at Stanford University. After redshirting his first season there, he went on to reel in 135 receptions for 2,219 yards and 28 touchdowns between 2016 and 2018.

A strong senior campaign, one that resulted in 1,059 receiving yards and 14 scores, helped boost his stock for the 2019 NFL draft—where he was selected in the second round by the Philadelphia Eagles. But, unfortunately, the 6-foot-2, 222-pound pass catcher wouldn’t pan out in the “City of Brotherly Love.”

From 2019 to 2021, Arcega-Whiteside amassed just 290 yards and one touchdown over 40 games for the Eagles. Philadelphia then traded him to the Seattle Seahawks on Aug. 15, 2022 in exchange for cornerback Umo Amadi.

After spending a few months on Seattle’s practice squad this past season, Arcega-Whiteside would be released on Nov. 1.

3 things to know about new Eagles DB Ugo Amadi

Three things to know about new Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Ugo Amadi after he was acquired from the Seattle Seahawks in a trade for J.J. Arcega-Whiteside

The Eagles made a big move on Monday, trading J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to the Seattle Seahawks for defensive back Ugo Amadi.

Amadi will now join Jonathan Gannon’s hybrid defense, and he brings the ability to play cornerback and safety while also flourishing on special teams.

Amadi, a fourth-round pick out of Oregon in 2019, was a part-time starter for the Seahawks the past two seasons as a nickel cornerback but fell out of favor and was in jeopardy of being released after asking for a change of scenery.

He’ll join another crowded but versatile defensive backs group in Philadelphia, and his experience could push him to the front of the pack.

Here are five things to know about the newest Eagle.
