The Eagles have agreed to terms of a one-year contract with explosive but oft-injured 27-year-old free agent Rashaad Penny, who spent his first five years with the Seahawks and has the fourth-highest per-carry average in NFL history by a running back.
Penny’s 5.7 career rushing average trails only Skeets Quinlan – who played in the 1950s – J.J. Dobbins of the Ravens – and Hall of Famer Marion Motley, who played in the 1940s and 1950s among running backs with at least 200 career carries.
Penny, 5-11, 220, has never been much of a receiving back. He has just 27 career receptions for 222 yards and one TD. With free agent running back Miles Sanders not expected to return to the Eagles, Penny fits into a revamped running back room along with Kenny Gainwell and possibly Trey Sermon, the 49ers’ 3rd-round pick in 2021. Kennedy Brooks could also be in the mix. Boston Scott is a free agent who could be back in 2023.
