Ex-Eagles super bowl star who was released, plans to join playoff teams

Former Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement , known for his standout performance in Super Bowl LII, has hit free agency following his release by the Arizona Cardinals. This move opens up opportunities for the seasoned player to join a playoff-bound team before the postseason commences.

Clement, aged 29, had a significant stint with the Eagles from 2017 to 2020, showcasing versatility as a reserve running back. His pivotal role in the Eagles’ historic Super Bowl victory against the Patriots solidified his legacy with an impressive 100-yard receiving game and a key play in the famed ‘Philly Special.’

While his most notable season remains his rookie year in 2017, where he displayed prowess in rushing and receiving, Clement continued to contribute throughout his tenure in Philadelphia, accumulating notable stats in both departments.

Post his Eagles tenure, Clement had brief stints with the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys, predominantly serving on special teams during his Cowboys tenure. His recent release by the Cardinals now marks his availability for potential signings ahead of the playoffs.

However, despite potential needs at the running back position due to injuries, it’s unlikely the Eagles, already bolstered with a strong running back corps, will consider re-signing Clement. The current depth chart, featuring Kenneth Gainwell, Boston Scott, and Rashaad Penny, renders Clement’s return improbable, unless unforeseen circumstances arise in the playoffs.

As Clement explores his options, eyes across the NFL are on the talented free agent, awaiting his potential addition to a playoff team seeking depth and experience at the running back position.
