Former Eagles cornerback Daryl Worley is facing six separate criminal charges for an incident that had him arrested on Sunday morning and subsequently cut from the team.
Worley, who was arrested early Sunday morning near the Eagles’ NovaCare Complex, is being charged with his first DUI, carrying an unlicensed firearm, carrying a firearm in public, possession of an instrument of crime with intent, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, according to court records.
The 23-year-old posted 10 percent of his $25,000 bail to be released, but is scheduled to be back in court for a preliminary hearing on May 1. Despite growing up in North Philadelphia, Worley was listed with an address in Swedesboro, N.J.
According to reports, Worley became combative after he was found passed out in South Philly and needed to be tased by an officer.
The Eagles got Worley as the return in the Torrey Smith trade, but cut him less than 12 hours after he was arrested on Sunday morning. With a stable of other young corners, the Eagles obviously deemed Worley expendable.
Cutting Worley, took his $670,000 cap hit off the Eagles’ books for 2018. Worley, meanwhile, lost a job that was set to pay him a base salary of $650,000 this season if he made the team out of training camp.
While Worley is now awaiting his next court hearing, the Eagles began their offseason workout schedule on Monday without him. Worley officially spent just one month and one day as an Eagle.
