Report: Eagles sign former Packers, Saints WR Samori Toure
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Samori Toure (83) returns a kicked during the third quarter of their preseason game against the New England Patriots Saturday, August 19, 2023 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis.
Mark Hoffman/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints wide receiver Samori Toure, ESPN reported Monday.
A seventh-round draft pick of the Packers in 2022, Toure spent two seasons in Green Bay, totaling 13 receptions for 160 yards and one touchdown in 22 games (two starts).
The reported signing comes amid widespread speculation that the Eagles are preparing to trade star wideout A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots for a first-round draft pick.
Toure signed with the Chicago Bears' practice roster in 2024 but never appeared in a game. He played one game for the Saints last season, hauling in one catch for 3 yards.
Sean Mannion, the Eagles' new offensive coordinator, spent two seasons as an assistant in Green Bay and is familiar with Toure and another former Packers receiver, Dontayvion Wicks, whom the Eagles traded for in April.
