Jon Dorenbos Traded to Saints from Eagles in Exchange for Draft Pick

The Philadelphia Eagles announced Monday they traded long snapper Jon Dorenbos to the New Orleans Saints for a seventh-round draft pick in 2019.

Dorenbos has been with the Eagles since the 2006 season and appeared in 162 games for the team. The 37-year-old reached the Pro Bowl in 2009 and 2014.

CSN Philly's Dave Zangaro shared a statement about Dorenbos' departure from Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie:

According to Pro Football Reference, no active player has made more appearances for the Eagles than Dorenbos, and he's sixth in appearances in franchise history.

While Dorenbos was the longest-tenured member of the Eagles roster, NJ Advance Media's Eliot Shorr-Parks wasn't too surprised by the trade:

Rick Lovato will likely take over as Philadelphia's long snapper heading into the 2017 regular season. Lovato played in three games last year while replacing Dorenbos, who required season-ending wrist surgery in December.
