Dante Olson—Eagles Depth Chart

I saw that Dante is second on the depth chart for the Eagles at middle linebacker behind TJ Edwards! What are his chances in making the roster? Anyone?

Eagles are very thin at LB after their best on retired a week ago. Him and Singleton have a very good chance. Eagles only play two LBs at a time when on defense.
 
He was listed in bleacher report as the Eagles most likely I drafted player to stand out in camp. Should have a good shot.
 
I think he will also be very helpful on special teams with his heart and selflessness.

Not to mention his nose for the football and tackling ability.

Too bad. Shows what I know.

"In a move that can only be described as shocking in some aspects, the Philadelphia Eagles have waived undrafted free agent linebacker, Dante Olson.

Olson was thought of as a likely candidate to land on the active roster at linebacker, but it now appears that the Eagles are prepared to move on."

Just shows what an uphill battle these rookies have this season. Especially UDFA's. They're just yet another group of people I feel so bad for because they are making monster sacrifices in the name of "safety" and "getting ahead of the curve"... :roll:

This is the WORST year to be an undrafted rookie. There just aren't any chances for you to get on the field. No pre-season games to show what you can do, and with no pads for the first weeks, no way to show your ability. He will make the practice squad (in my opinion).
 
They don't need LB's in Philly because they have that great QB that stays healthy all year and carries the team on his back to victory every game!

So true, given his less than stellar measurables. If he makes a practice squad injuries could get him a special teams shot somewhere. That would be right in his wheel house and I'd bet he'll stick around.
 
Apparently he has been waived.

Can't believe I was the first to come across it. It's not the kind of news you want to find.
