DeVan

DeVan opened the season as the Eagles’ starting right guard, but it was only a matter of time until he lost the position to first-round pick Danny Watkins. An undersized and underwhelming talent, DeVan figures to stay on Philly’s speed dial as a free agent. The injury-bothered Colts could also give him a look.

Devan faceplanted as the Eagles’ starting right guard last season and was waived in November. The Titans kicked the tires for two months before moving on. The former undrafted free agent is just a backup-caliber talent at best.

DeVan entered last season as the Eagles’ starting right guard while rookie Danny Watkins got his feet wet. After proving to be a swinging gate in pass protection, DeVan was benched after four games. He’ll have to compete for a backup job in Nashville. Whiting was undrafted out of Fordham.

Defensive end Pannel Egboh was waived in a corresponding move. DeVan will return to the final offensive line role as the two roster yo-yos trade spots.

A fourth-year undrafted free agent, DeVan appeared in five games for the Eagles last season, making four starts. He spent camp with the Titans before being cut loose. He could stick on the roster beyond Week 9, but his snaps will be limited.

Baldridge comes via the Jaguars practice squad. DeVan has been a roster yo-yo all season in Tennessee. The Titans needed depth after losing David Stewart to fractured leg.

DeVan was abused in Sunday’s loss to the Niners, so Watkins gets his job back. The ceiling with Watkins is higher, but the No. 23 overall pick faceplanted in preseason and hasn’t even been active for a game yet. He’ll join LT King Dunlap, who is replacing Jason Peters (hamstring), as a new face on the offensive line this week. The Eagles’ pass protection is unlikely to improve soon.

Bill Polian loves his centers. DeVan, a former undrafted free agent from Oregon State, was last with the Boise Burn of the Arena Football League 2.

It doesn’t say much for last year’s second-rounder Pollak that he’s losing time to a player signed off the Boise Burn of Arena Football2 this past offseason.

It appears he’s passed Mike Pollak for the full-time job. It’s a nice rise for DeVan, who was playing in the Arena Football League earlier this year.
