Josina Anderson reported the news Tuesday afternoon on Twitter.
I’m told #Broncos LB Corey Nelson intends to sign a 1-year deal with the #Eagles, per source.

If you’re like me and were wondering who he is and what he did in Denver, here is a little snippet of what a Denver Broncos podcast host had to say about Nelson:
An up and coming inside backer who has a SB ring, who contributed on the 2015 Super Bowl defense on both D and ST.

The terms of the one-year deal have not been specified yet. This move projects to be one that allows a young player the opportunity to come in and fight for a starting job with a shallow linebacking corps while allowing him to flourish on special teams. Worst case scenario: he’s a younger Najee Goode.
UPDATE:
Mike Garafolo released the terms of Corey Nelson’s contract
Eagles’ deal with LB Corey Nelson is one year, $2.25 million, source says. (@JosinaAnderson mentioned Coleman was headed to Philly.)
