Aformer Philadelphia Eagles running back is officially a free agent.
Corey Clement, who is best known for his 100-yard receiving game in the team’s 2018 Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots, has been released by the Arizona Cardinals. That means the former Eagles back is free to sign with a playoff team before the postseason starts.
“The Cardinals are releasing veteran RB Corey Clement from the practice squad today, per source, giving him a chance to join a playoff team that needs depth,” NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero posted January 8 on X.
The 29-year-old Clement spent four seasons with Philadelphia (2017 through 2020) as a reserve back who saw sizable playing time during his first two seasons. In fact, Clement appeared in all 16 games during his rookie season, playing 23% of the offensive snaps in 2017 and 32% of the offensive snaps during the 2018 season.
However, Clement will always be best known for his key role in the team’s Super Bowl 41-33 win over the Patriots at the conclusion of the 2017 season. Clement not only led all Eagles receivers with four receptions for 100 receiving yards and one touchdown, he took the snap on the famous Philly Special play, a touchdown pass to quarterback Nick Foles on fourth-and-goal with 38 seconds left in the first half.
