The Philadelphia Eagles released wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham on Friday after signing rookie quarterback Dane Evans to a three-year contract.

Green-Beckham, 24, joined the Eagles last August in a training-camp trade with the Tennessee Titans for offensive tackle Dennis Kelly.

The 6-foot-5, 237-pound Green-Beckham, a 2015 second-round pick, finished his one season in Philadelphia with 36 catches for 392 yards and two touchdowns.

Evans, 23, threw for 3,348 yards and 32 touchdowns with 12 interceptions as a senior at the University of Tulsa last year. He participated this offseason with the Eagles as a tryout player.

Evans joins starter Carson Wentz, Nick Foles and Matt McGloin on the quarterback depth chart.
