George, 25, went undrafted last spring out of Pittsburgh and spent the 2025 season on the Chiefs' Injured Reserve list. George was released by the Chiefs back in May.
While George was just a one-year starter at Pitt, he was a special teams standout and tested out as an impressive athlete.
Here's what NFL.com's Lance Zierlein wrote about George ahead of the 2025 draft:
"Inside linebacker who boasts a burly frame and outstanding pro-day testing numbers. George was a mainstay on special teams during his six-year career, spending only one season (2024) as a full-time starter. He's inconsistent in making reads and fitting up the run properly, but he's big and strong. He can leverage his gaps when he's in position. He's a build-up runner who lacks the necessary burst to patrol from sideline to sideline, and he's a liability in coverage. George's testing, measurables and special-teams experience might appeal to teams, but likely as an undrafted free agent."

In Philly, George will join a linebacker room headlined by starters Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell . The Eagles have also been bullish on their linebacker depth with Jeremiah Trotter Jr. , Smael Mondon and Chance Campbell . So George will obviously face an uphill battle to make the roster.
The Eagles have not yet announced this signing and a corresponding move.
The Eagles will kick off their preseason on Saturday night against the Ravens in Baltimore and will head up to New England for two joint practices with the Patriots next week.
