The Eagles agreed to terms with free agent defensive tackle Kentavius Street, the team announced Thursday. The news was first reported by ESPN.

Street, originally a 2018 fourth-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers out of North Carolina State, played last season for the New Orleans Saints.

The 6-foot-2, 287-pounder registered career highs in 2022 in sacks (3 1/2), pressures (nine), and tackles (29) over 518 defensive snaps (46%).

Street, who turns 27 in May, will help provide additional depth on the interior D-line after the Eagles lost pass rusher Javon Hargrave to the 49ers in free agency. The Eagles also re-signed veteran Fletcher Cox to a one-year deal. Other defensive tackles on the depth chart include: 2021 first-round pick Jordan Davis, Milton Williams, Marlon Tuipulotu, and Marvin Wilson.

The Eagles have signed six other external free agents over the past three weeks: quarterback Marcus Mariota, running back Rashaad Penny, linebacker Nicholas Morrow, cornerback Greedy Williams, and safeties Justin Evans and Terrell Edmunds.
