Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nicholas Morrow won't be back for a second season with the Birds. 

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Morrow and the Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms on a one-year deal. 

Contract details were not released.  

Morrow, 28, signed a one-year contract with the Eagles last offseason. 

He started 12 games in 2023 for Philly, registering 95 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss and three sacks. 

The Eagles' linebackers were noticeably the weakest group among the defense last season, so it's clear that Howie Roseman and new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio are looking elsewhere to revamp that position. 

So far, the Birds have agreed to a one-year deal with versatile linebacker Zack Baun in free agency. 

In 14 starts for the New Orleans Saints last fall, Baun logged 30 tackles, two sacks,  four QB hits and an interception. 

We'll see how else the Eagles continue to address the need at linebacker between now and the 2024 NFL draft.
