Arnold, a 28-year-old undrafted free agent from Wisconsin-Platteville, is expected to provide additional depth at the tight end position for the Eagles, alongside players such as Dallas Goedert, Jack Stoll, Tyree Jackson, Dalton Keene, and Grant Calcaterra.
Arnold's performance during the 2021 season was modest, with only nine receptions on 13 targets for a total of 135 yards and no touchdowns across 17 games.

However, he had a much better year in 2021, recording 35 receptions and 408 receiving yards with the Jaguars and Carolina Panthers.
Arnold is not expected to be the primary pass-catching tight end for the Eagles, as that role is likely to be filled by Goedert.
However, if Goedert misses any playing time, Arnold could have an opportunity to contribute in that role.
