Eagles Sign RB Dameon Pierce to Strengthen Backfield in One-Year Deal
The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to terms with running back Dameon Pierce on a one-year deal. The move brings a physical runner to the team’s depth chart.
Player background
Pierce entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2022. He played three and a half seasons in Houston before finishing the 2025 campaign with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Early production
His most productive year came as a rookie. Pierce rushed for 939 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games.
He also caught 30 passes for 165 yards and one receiving touchdown during that season.
Roster implications
This signing helps the Eagles shore up running back depth. The addition complements the current group and boosts versatility.
- Saquon Barkley
- Tank Bigsby
- Will Shipley
- Carson Steele
- Dameon Pierce
With Pierce on a one-year deal, Philadelphia gains a tough between-the-tackles runner. That could influence how the offense deploys personnel.
Strategic context
The pickup provides insurance if the Eagles move on from A.J. Brown. It also gives the coaching staff options to attack defenses in waves.
Filmogaz.com notes the club signed Pierce to strengthen the backfield. The move follows a season split between Houston and Kansas City.
